Prophet's Guidance on treating conjunctivitis with rest and observing a special diet   We mentioned that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam required Suhaib Radi Allaho Anh to observe a diet from eating dates when he was suffering from conjunctivitis, and asked Ali Radi Allaho Anh when he was suffering from the same condition. Furthermore, Abu Naeem narrated in his book, "The Prophetic Medicine", وذكر أبو نُعَيْم فى كتاب "الطب النبوى": أنه صلى الله عليه وسلم "كان إذا رَمِدَتْ عينُ امرأةٍ من نسائه لم يأتِهَا حَتَّى تَبرَأَ عينُها".

Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam said, it is hot and a strong laxative, she then said, in addition I use Senna and the Prophet replied, if there is a cure that prevents death, it would be Senna ". وفى "سنن ابن ماجه" عن إبراهيم بن أبى عَبلة، قال: سمعتُ عبد الله ابن أُم حرام، وكان قد صلَّى مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم القبْلتين يقول: سمعتُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: "عليكم السَّنا والسَّنُوت، فإنَّ فيهما شفاءً مِ...

  Sunnah of prophet Muhammad (SAW) peace be upon him. Many Muslims are well aquatinted with the Sunnah of the prophet as a terminus technical and all that it stands for in Muslim history and legal thought. How many though, one wonders by trying to model their lives on the Sunnah everyday, from morning till night. They almost complete adoption of the "modern", that is, Western way of life by many people of Muslim origin suggest that the number is small indeed.  Nevertheless, it is accepted among Muslims that the Sunnah is the key to understanding the message of the Holy Qur'an and to the implementation of the guidelines and laws laid down in it.
