The earliest written reference to the black seed is in the Book of Isaiah of the Bible, in which it is referred to as “Ketzah” in Hebrew, a spice for bread and cakes:
"For the black cumin is beaten out with a stick and the cumin with a rod." (Isaiah 28:27)
But it is its use in Islamic medicine that has made black seed famous in traditional remedies all over the world. The origin of its use in traditional medicine can be traced back to a saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s):
"In the black seed is a cure for every illness except death." (Sahih Al-Bukhari 7:71:592)
