The weekend rendezvous routine is undeniably changed. These days, Darussyifa’ serves as mecca for weekend. I loyally accompany and do the best that I can to make the most of the time we have as well as being a dedicated companion as much as I could. Being in Darussyifa’ teaches me a lot of the unknown knowledge prior to these mystical experiences.
The leaves of Sidr, lote tree, cedar or “bidara”.
So we went this morning, like usual. And this routine has to be done in Istiqamah (continuous). I am interested to write about a type of plant that is synonymous in the Islamic exorcism. Before this, I am quite an ignoramus about the benefits (I only knew the name) but now I realize that it has significant role in alternative medication. The plant is known as “bidara” in Malay Language and is a very popular flora to be used in Malay prose and folklore. I tried to find the English term for it and came across various name such as Cedar, Lote Tree and also Sidr (from the Arabic origination) but the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) website dubs it as Ziziphus mauritiana as the scientific name (REFER to http://www.frim.gov.my/ziziphus-mauritiana-tasty-little-fruits/?wppa-album=35&wppa-photo=113&wppa-cover=0&wppa-occur=1). But I am not going to decipher about the fruit. I wanna talk about the leaves.
According to Darussyifa’ Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi branch’s website at http://darussyifabbst.blogspot.com/2011/09/rawatan-menggunakan-daun-bidara.html, the leaves of “bidara”or Sidr are significant in treating spiritual illnesses such as emotional upheaval, disturbance during sleeping, malicious presence of Djinns, or curses. According to various sources I have Googled in the Net as well as what is written by Tuan Guru Dato’ Dr. Harun Din in his household book “Rawatan Penyakit Jasmani (I)” – Treatment Of Physical Illness (I), Abul Hasan Ali ibn Khalaf who was famously known as Ibn Battal al-Maliki said on a hadith Bukhari when Sihr (curse) is concern :-
“He can take seven Sidr leaves, grind them up, and put them into water, then recite into it the ayahs and surahs (verses and chapters) – Ayatul Kursi, 3 Quls, and the du’as. Then he can drink some and wash with the rest. Seven Sidr leaves should be placed in water, the verses referred to above should be recited into it, then he should drink from it and wash with it. This is beneficial, by Allah’s leave.”
The grind Sidr leaves.
Besides that in another example, it was also said that Prophet SAW explained that in the process of cleansing the corpse with pure water (Islamic ritual to honour the dead), one of the cleansing steps process needs to be conducted with a mixture of water and Sidr leaves. This implies that there is a specific significance of Sidr – and the recognition is uphold due to the fact that it is used to honour and to purify the dead.
Sidr leaves or “daun bidara” from Darussyifa’, Bandar Baru Bangi Seksyen 1, Malaysia.
This certainly another eye-opening knowledge for me in broadening my horizon. ALLAH Hu Akbar, God SWT Is Great!
Assalamualaikum.
Bidara adalah salah satu herba tradisional yang sudah digunakan sejak zaman berzaman. Ramai yang menggunakannya untuk mendapatkan khasiat daun bidara yang baik untuk kebersihan diri dan pengubatan.
Ia bertindak sebagai agen pembersih semulajadi seperti sabun yang boleh digunakan untuk membersihkan rambut dan kulit. Malah ia juga boleh merawat masalah jerawat.
Pada zaman Rasulullah S.A.W, bidara digunakan untuk membersihkan badan sama seperti kita menggunakan sabun, shampoo atau losyen. Daun bidara juga digunakan untuk memandikan jenazah.
Hanya tambahkan 1 cawan serbuk bidara ke dalam sebaldi air. Gaulkan sehingga sebati dan jiruskan pada jenazah semasa mandian pertama. Amalan ini sememangnya adalah sunnah Nabi sendiri.
Wanita yang mandi wajib setelah suci daripada haid juga disunatkan menggunakan daun bidara ketika mandi.
Rawat sihir dengan daun bidara.
Walaupun amalan merawat sihir menggunakan daun bidara bukan amalan Rasulullah S.A.W, tetapi ulama’ Salaf telah sepakat untuk membenarkan amalan ini sebagai kaedah penyembuhan yang tidak melanggar hukum syarak.
Kaedah yang diambil dari kitab Imam ibn Qayyim al Jauziyyah adalah seperti berikut:
Ambil 7 helai daun bidara, tambahkan ke dalam air minuman (air mineral atau yang seangkatan dengannya).
Baca ayat Kursi, Surah 3 Qul, beberapa potong ayat yang berkenaan dengan menghindari sihir seperti Surah al-A’raf, Surah Yunus dan Surah Taaha dan selawat ke atas Nabi.
Hembuskan ke dalam air yang diadun dengan daun bidara tadi.
Gunakan air tersebut sebagai minuman dan mandian. Insya-Allah.
Selain itu, kaedah menggunakan daun bidara juga baik untuk merawat lelaki yang tidak boleh berjimak dengan isteri kerana telah disihir. Cara-caranya ialah:
Ambil 7 helai daun bidara, tumbuk hingga halus, kemudian dicampurkan ke dalam bekas yang berisi air.
Baca surah-surah berikut dan hembuskan pada air; Ayat Kursi,Surah 3 Qul, beberapa potong ayat yang berkenaan dengan menghindari sihir seperti Surah al-A’raf, Surah Yunus dan Surah Taaha.
Kemudian minum air tersebut sebagai 3 kali dan lebihannya digunakan untuk mandi.
Insya-Allah, penyakit akan sembuh. Digalakkan mengulang amalan ini sebanyak 2 ke 3 kali sehingga penyakit benar-benar sembuh.
Anda boleh mencuba sendiri atau mendapatkan rawatan daripada pengamal perubatan Islam yang bertauliah. Kita hanya berikhtiar dan hanya Allah sahaja yang menentukan-Nya.
Jazakallahu khairan.
Kopiah : Alhamdulillah. Terima kasih atas pencerahan pada saya ya….
