Question:

Is there a Hadith saying, "use the black caraway for it is indeed a remedy for all diseases except death", if so is it Sahih?

Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

The Hadith concerning the matter of black cumin (caraway seeds) is sound and reported by Imams Bukhari and Muslim. Ayisha (Radiya Allahu Anha) reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "The black cumin is healing for all diseases except al-Sam". Ayisha (Radiya Allahu Anha) said, "What is al-Sam? He said, 'Death".
Allah knows best.
