A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "My brother has an upset stomach."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Give him honey to drink."The man went and gave him honey, then returned and said, "I gave him honey, but it only made his condition worse."The Prophet ﷺ told him the same thing three times. When he came the fourth time, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Give him honey to drink."The man replied, "I have already given it to him, but it only made him worse."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has spoken the truth, and your brother's stomach has lied. Give him honey."So he gave him honey, and he recovered.
