In this work, he examines the prophetic narration recorded by al-Bukhari and other compilers regarding the dipping of a fly that falls into a drink or vessel: إذا وقع الذباب في إناء أحدكم فليغمسه كلّه ثم ليطرحه فإن في إحدى جناحيه داء وفي الآخر شفاء ("If a fly falls into the vessel of one of you, let him submerge it entirely and then cast it out, for in one of its wings is disease and in the other is a cure").
