Sahih Hadith
قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: بِمَ تَسْتَمْشِينَ؟ قُلْتُ: بِالشُّبْرُمِ. قَالَ: حَارٌّ حَارٌّ. قَالَتْ: ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: لَوْ أَنَّ شَيْئًا كَانَ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ لَكَانَ فِي السَّنَا
"She said: The Messenger of Allah asked me: 'What do you use as a laxative?' I said: 'Shubrum.' He said: 'It is hot, hot (harsh).' Then I used senna, and the Prophet said: 'If there was anything that could cure death, it would be in senna.'"
Sunan Ibn Majah · 3457HasanNarrator: Asma bint Umais
The Prophet specifically discouraged harsh purgatives and approved senna for intestinal conditions, directly applicable to colitis where gentle intestinal regulation is needed without aggravating inflammation.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا اشْتَكَى أَحَدٌ رَأْسَهُ أَوْ بَطْنَهُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: احْتَجِمْ
"When anyone complained of a pain in his head or belly, the Prophet would say: 'Apply cupping (hijama).'"
Sunan Abi Dawud · 3855SahihNarrator: Umm Salamah
The Prophet prescribed hijama specifically for abdominal pain, which is a cardinal symptom of colitis, indicating this therapy for intestinal inflammatory conditions.
