It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (3457) and al-Ḥākim (4/201) through the route of ʿAmr ibn Bakr al-Saksakī, who narrated to us from Ibrāhīm ibn Abī ʿUlaybah, who said: I heard Abū Abī ibn Umm Ḥaram—who had prayed facing both qiblahs with the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam)—say: I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say, and he mentioned it. ʿAmr said: Ibn Abī ʿUlaybah said: al-sanut is the winter. Others said it is the honey that is in the butter container, as the poet said: They are the butter with the sanut, not the tongue among them, and they prevent their neighbor from being harmed. Al-Ḥākim said: "The isnād is authentic." Al-Dhahabī refuted it by saying: "I said: ʿAmr was accused by Ibn Ḥibbān, and Ibn ʿAdī said: he has anomalies." Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Taqrīb": "Abandoned." I said: However, the ḥadīth has supporting evidence with its meaning that strengthens it. The first: from Umm Salamah, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) entered upon me and said: Why do I see you distressed? I said: I drank medicine to relieve myself. He said: What is it? I said: al-saram. He said: What do you have to do with al-saram? It is hot, fire. You should use al-sana and al-sanut, for in them is a remedy for everything except death." Al-Haythamī said: (5/90): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī through the route of Wakīʿ ibn Abī ʿUbaydah from his father from his mother, and I did not know them." The second: from Asmāʾ bint ʿUmays, raised [to the Prophet] with the wording: "If there were anything that had a cure for death, it would be in al-sana." In its isnād is an unknown and a disconnection. It is recorded in "al-Mishkāt" (4537)
أخرجه ابن ماجة (٣٤٥٧) والحاكم (٤ / ٢٠١) من طريق عمرو بن بكر السكسكي حدثنا إبراهيم بن أبي علبة قال: سمعت أبا أبي بن أم حرم - وكان قد صلى مع رسول الله ﷺ القبلتين - سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول فذكره. وقال عمرو: قال ابن أبي علبة: السنوت: الشت. وقال آخرون بل هو العسل الذي يكون في زقاق السمن، وهو قول الشاعر: هم السمن بالسنوت لا ألس فيهم وهم يمنعون جارهم أن يقردا وقال الحاكم: " صحيح الإسناد ". ورده الذهبي بقوله: " قلت: عمرو اتهمه ابن حبان، وقال ابن عدي: له مناكير ". وقال الحافظ في " التقريب ": " متروك ". قلت: لكن للحديث شواهد بمعناه يتقوى بها. الأول: عن أم سلمة قالت: " دخل علي رسول الله ﷺ فقال: مالي أراك مرتثة؟ فقلت: شربت دواء أستمشي به، قال: وما هو؟ قلت: السرم، قال: ومالك وللسرم فإنه حار، نار، عليك بالسنا والسنوت، فإن فيهما دواء من كل شيء إلا السام ". قال الهيثمي: (٥ / ٩٠) : " رواه الطبراني من طريق وكيع ابن أبي عبيدة عن أبيه عن أمه، ولم أعرفهم ". والثاني: عن أسماء بنت عميس مرفوعا بلفظ: " لو أن شيئا كان فيه شفاء من الموت لكان في السنى ". وفي إسناده جهالة وانقطاع. وهو مخرج في " المشكاة" (٤٥٣٧) .
