The answer

Honey and black seed contain healing, but not for every disease, or for everyone. The Almighty's saying: "Therein is healing for people," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "In the black seed there is healing from every disease except death," are not to be taken at their apparent generality. The intended meaning of generality here is specificity; meaning, every disease that can be treated by them, or every disease caused by dampness.
