The Wings of a Fly

Al-Mu'minah · **The Wings of a Fly -** 09-13-2006

Question:

Just how authentic is the Hadeeth,

"Indeed, in one wing of the fly is the disease, and in the other is the antidote." (Abu Dawud no. 3844 and Al-Bukhari no. 3320, 5782)

Answer:

This Hadeeth, which is related by Al-Bukhari on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may Allaah be pleased with him, is authentic, and Abu Dawud recorded it with the addition:

"Indeed what is in its wings contains the antidote." (Abu Dawud no. 3844 and Al-Bukhari no. 3320, 5782)

And modern medicine attests to its meaning.
Some people may not feel up to drinking the contents after dipping the fly into the glass, and if they do not feel like drinking, they should not be forced, because a person is not ordered to eat or drink that which disgusts him. In an authentic hadeeth, the Prophet (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam) permitted others to eat a lizard, but he didn't eat it himself: he said,

"Indeed it is not from the land of my people, so I have a dislike for it." (Al-Bukhari no. 5537 and Muslim no. 1946)

Oooh I know it's true subhanallah but I just feel a tad too queasy to drink something after I've just finished dunking a fly in it

I'd just give it to someone who didn't know what just took place in the cup

Now I'm remembering something that they used to say when I was living in Louisiana. I don't know if any of you are familiar with raisin pie, but in some parts of Louisiana it is almost as popular as pecan pie. Very sweet and sticky, made with lots of sugar and raisins. Attract a lot of flies in the summer time.

The people say "When you are eating raisin pie don't worry about flies, just think of them as raisins with wings."
