Is the Hadith narrated by Al-Bayhaqi and Ibn Majah, "Whoever eats honey in the morning at the beginning of the month for three days will be protected from every affliction," authentic?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The hadith: "Whoever licks honey three mornings every month will not be afflicted by a great calamity," has a weak chain of narration due to the instability of its narrators and the clear statements of the imams regarding its weakness. The other similar hadith: "Whoever drinks honey for three days every month on an empty stomach will be cured of the major diseases of paralysis, leprosy, and vitiligo," is fabricated, and contains narrators accused of fabricating hadith.
