The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Make use
of the two remedies: honey and the Qur'an."

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith, Hadith 1196

The Holy Quran, Chapter 47, Verse 15

"(Here is) a Parable of the Garden (of Paradise) which the righteous
are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible:
rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers
of (non-intoxicating) wine a joy to those who drink; and rivers of honey
pure and clear."
