Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) said, that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say concerning Black Seed, " In it there is a healing for every disease, except for death" (Sahih Al Bukhaari and Muslim)
Ibn Hajjar Hajar (rahimahullah) said: It was said that the words "every disease” refers to every disease that could be treated with it, because it is beneficial in the case of cold diseases; as for hot diseases, it is not.
Ibn Al Qayyum (rahimahullah) said:
The words "healing from every disease" are like the verse in which Allah says, what means: "Destroying everything by the command of It's Lord "[Al Ahqaaf 46:25]bThat is, it (the storm or wind referred to in the verse) destroyed everything that could be destroyed, and the like. (Zaad Al Ma’aad)
Shaikh Al Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimmahullah) said: Just taking appropriate means and measures does not necessarily lead to the expected results. If rain falls and seeds sprout, that is not sufficient for vegetation to grow rather it is also essential that there be fertilizing winds, by Allah's permission, and it is essential that there be an absense of impediments. It is essential for all conditions to be met and all impediments to be absent, and all of that happens by the will and decree of Allah.
A Child is not born as the result of merely semen entering the woman's vagina. How often that happens, but no child is born? Indeed it is essential that Allah should will to create the child, then the woman gets pregnant, then the embryo begins to grow in the uterus, and all other conditions that are needed, and the impediments that must be absent, for the creation of the child. (Majmoo Al fataawa)
No matter how much medicine we take it will not cure us except by Allah's will. As you have just read Black Seed is the cure for every disease but death, but in order for this to happen one must have faith/ belief in it's healing properties and also know that It is Allah who cures. Islaam shows us and directs us to that which is good and beneficial now it is upon us to take the means.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Every illness has a cure, and when the proper cure is applied to the disease, it ends it, Allah willing.” (Muslim)
