To what extent is it accurate to attribute the saying, "Blessed are you, O purslane (or رجلة), for there is no plant more beloved to Allah than you," and then he said, "And Allah has blessed a plant that contains it," or "And Allah has blessed a plant, and He has blessed a plant more beloved to me than this plant," or "And Allah has blessed a plant; nothing was more beloved to me than this plant," and then he said, "May Allah bless a plant," or "May Allah bless a plant, and may Allah bless a plant that is more beloved to me than this plant," to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?
The Hadith that includes the benefit of purslane and the supplication for blessings upon it is not authentic. It was mentioned in the تخريج أحاديث إحياء علوم الدين that Abu Nu'aym narrated in al-Tibb a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that he treated a sore with purslane and it healed, and he supplicated for blessings upon it, saying that it is a cure for seventy diseases. However, this Hadith is mursal and weak. Ibn al-Subki said: "I have not found an isnad for it."
