حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قال حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قال حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ نَاسًا، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالُوا الْكَمْأَةُ جُدَرِيُّ الأَرْضِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

"‏ الْكَمْأَةُ مِنَ الْمَنِّ وَمَاؤُهَا شِفَاءٌ لِلْعَيْنِ وَالْعَجْوَةُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَهِيَ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ السُّمِّ ‏"

"Abu Hurairah narrated that people among the Companions of the Prophet (S.A.W) would say:

"Truffles are the earth's smallpox." So the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: "Truffles are a form of manna, and its liquid is a cure for the eye. Al-'Ajwah is from Paradise, and it contains a cure for poison."

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

قَوْلُهُ : ( قَالُوا الْكَمْأَةُ جُدَرِيُّ الْأَرْضِ ) بِضَمِّ جِيمٍ وَفَتْحِ دَالٍ وَكَسْرِ رَاءٍ وَتَشْدِيدِ يَاءٍ هُوَ حَبٌّ يَظْهَرُ فِي جَسَدِ الصَّبِيِّ مِنْ فَضَلَاتٍ تَتَضَمَّنُ الْمَضَرَّةَ تَدْفَعُهَا الطَّبِيعَةُ وَيُقَالُ لَهُ بِالْهِنْدِيَّةِ جيجك. قَالَ الطِّيبِيُّ : شَبَّهُوهَا بِهِ فِي كَوْنِهَا فَضَلَاتٍ تَدْفَعُهَا الْأَرْضُ إِلَى ظَاهِرِهَا ذَمًّا لَهَا ( فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الْكَمْأَةُ مِنْ الْمَنِّ وَمَاؤُهَا شِفَاءٌ لِلْعَيْنِ ) . قَالَ الطِّيبِيُّ : كَأَنَّهُمْ لَمَّا ذَمُّوهَا وَجَعَلُوهَا مِنْ الْفَضَلَاتِ الَّتِي تَتَضَمَّنُ الْمَضَرَّةَ وَتَدْفَعُهَا الْأَرْضُ إِلَى ظَاهِرِهَا , كَمَا تَدْفَعُ الطَّبِيعَةُ الْفَضَلَاتِ بِالْج…
