Muslims, Did Mohamed Say to Dip a Fly in Your Drink?

Answer 2

"If a fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure (antidote for the disease) (1). Footnote (1) says "See Hadith no.673 vol.7th (for details)" Bukhari vol.4 book 54 no.531 prior p.335.

"Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, ‘If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease." Bukhari vol.4 book 54 no.537 p.338.

Abu Hureira had perfect memory: "Narrated Abu Huraira: I said to Allah’s Apostle ‘I hear many narrations (Hadiths) from you but I forget them.’ Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Spread your Rida (garment)’ I did accordingly and then he moved his hands as if filling them with something (and emptied them in my Rida) and then said, ‘Take and wrap this sheet over your body.’ I did it and after that I never forgot any thing." Bukhari vol.1 book 3 no.119 p.89. Also vol.4 book 56 no.841 p.538; vol.9 no.452 p.332

"Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, ‘If a fly falls in the vessel of any of you, let him dip all of it (into the vessel) and then throw it away, for in one of its wings there is a disease and in the other there is healing (1) (antidote for it) i.e. the treatment for that disease." Bukhari vol.7 book 71 no.673 p.452-453.

Footnote (1) says, "Medically it is well known now that a fly carries some pathagens on some parts of its body as mentioned by the Prophet (before 1400 years. approx. when the humans knew very little of modern medicine.) Similarly Allah created organisms and other mechanisms which kill these pathagens e.g. penicillin Fungus kills pathogenic organisms like Staphalococci and others etc. Recently experiments have been done under supervision which indicate that a fly carries the disease (pathagens) plus the antidote for those organ-isms. Ordinarily when a fly touches a liquid food it infects the liquid with its pathogens, so it must be dipped in order to release also the antidote for those pathogens to act as a counter balance to the pathogens. Regarding this subject I also wrote through a friend of mine to Dr. Muhammad M. El-SAMAHY chief of Hadith Dept. in Al-Azhar University CAIRO (Egypt) who has written an article upon this Hadith and as regards medical aspects he has mentioned that the microbiologists have proved that there are longitudinal yeast cells living as parasites inside the belly of the fly and these yeast cells in order to repeat their life-cycle protrude through respiratory tubules of the fly and if the fly is dipped in liquid, these cells burst in the fluid and the content of those cells is an antidote for the pathogens which the fly carries."

Note that the Bukhari footnote quotes this Dr. from the Hadith department; they did not get a quote from the medical or health department.

One wing of a fly has a disease, and the other the cure. Abu Dawud vol.3 no.3835 p.1080

If a fly falls in a drink, dip the other wing in the drink. Ibn-i-Majah vol.5 no.3504-3505 p.38-39

Answer 3

The Hadith itself answers the question but you should be asking this question about the fly's other wing carrying the antidote to the scientists than people here to findout the correct answer.

The term "Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww" changes from tradition to another (meaning what is disgusting for one, isn't for others) so I really don't know what to say about your comment.

Answer 4

Go and read Professor Maurrice Buccailles book, The Bible , The Quran and Science.
All these were explained in it.
It just shows that the Prophet was human, he recommended medicine as it was known to them in those days, he never claimed to be God.
..and some of them have been proved to be effective, even if not refined. Some medications used for instance in modern days are derived from animal urine, eg Premarine.....Pregnant mare urine.
