Summary
Scholars differ on the exact meaning of al-Mann and al-Salwa in Surah al-Baqarah, verse 57. For al-Mann, the view cited by most exegetes is al-Taranjabin, a sweet gum-like substance, alongside other views such as honey, a sweet drink and bread. For al-Salwa, most opinions hold that it is a bird similar to quail, while a linguistic view that it means honey is also reported and is disputed by some exegetes.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
