Hadith #178
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ ثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَأَتَانَا بِزُبْدٍ وَكُتْلَةٍ فَأُسْقِطَ ذُبَابٌ فِي الطَّعَامِ فَجَعَلَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ يَمْقُلُهُ بِأُصْبُع
ِهِ فِيهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا خَالُ مَا تَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَدَ جَنَاحَيْ الذُّبَابِ سُمٌّ وَالْآخَرَ شِفَاءٌ فَإِذَا وَقَعَ فِي الطَّعَامِ فَامْقُلُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُقَدِّمُ السُّمَّ وَيُؤَخِّرُ الشِّفَاءَ

English Translation
Yazid narrated to us, he said: Ibn Abi Dhi'b narrated to us, from Sa'id ibn Khalid who said: I entered upon Abu Salamah and he brought us butter and a lump [of dates]. A fly fell into the food, and Abu Salamah began dipping it [fully into the food and then removing it]. I said: 'O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, what are you doing?' He said: Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) informed me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If a fly falls into the food of one of you, let him dip it fully, for in one of its wings is a disease and in the other is its cure.'
