"Historically, black seed has been used for headache, toothache, nasal congestion, asthma, arthritis, and intestinal worms. It has also been used for "pink eye" (conjunctivitis), pockets of infection (abscesses), and parasites."
So the common denominator of all these COVID cures is their anti-parasitic action. As X22 Dave would say, "very interesting, isn't it?"
I think you're confusing a Muslim hadith for the Bible.
Cumin or cummin (as it's spelled in the KJV) is only mentioned 3 times in the Bible, twice in Isaiah and once in Matthew.
Matthew 23:23
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
In the hadiths (which are not the Koran but are Muslim holy books), there's a few mentions of cumin as well-
Sahih al-Bukhari 5688
Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "There is healing in black cumin for all diseases except death."
This is the entry for cumin in the 1901 Jewish Encylopedia-
The seed of the Cuminum Cyminum, an umbelliferous plant, which, coming originally from Mediterranean countries, spread to many parts of the world. Its name is common to Greek, Hebrew, Phenician, Syriac, Ethiopic, and Arabic, as well as to modern languages. Geoponicon and Bar Bahlul mention among its varieties the wild, the Ethiopic, and the domestic or garden cumin. Palestine grew a special variety of its own, the Cyminum Syriacum (Mish. Demai, ii. 1; the Yer. distinguishes it from the variety called Cyprian, the seed of which is curved). By the Arabs as well as by the Jews cumin was used as a condiment. It has a pungent taste, something like caraway, and is used by many people to flavor bread. The oven was heated with cumin for that purpose (Ter. x. 4). It is used also medicinally to soften swellings. In the Talmud it is mentioned as used to stanch excessive bleeding (Shab. 110b) during menstruation and after circumcision (Shab. 18, 4; see also Joel Müller, "Ḥillufe Minhagim," p. 41, Vienna, 1878); while it is also credited with curative properties for colics ('Ab. Zarah 29a, top). It is not certain whether, in the magic formula against boils given in Shab. 67a, the word "kammon" is an allusion to the seed; but in view of its application in such cases, this is highly probable.
In Isa. xxviii. 25 the method of threshing it is referred to. Instead of the usual instrument, a rod isused, and the knowledge of this method is pointed out as of divine origin. Matt. xxiii. 23 complains of those who give tithes of cumin but disregard the weightier matters of the Law.
Correct. Though sometimes called Black Cumin Seed, what we're talking about is not cumin the spice, but another thing altogether: seeds from the plant Nigella Sativa.
