Assalam oalaikum,
Here are the ahadith in which Prophet Mohammad (saw) has enlightened people about the importance of olives and also advised them to use olives to cure various ailments.
Hazrat Sayyed Al-Ansari (ra.) narrates that the Prophet Mohammad (saw) said “Eat the olive oil and massage it over your bodies since it is a holy (mubarak) tree.” (Tirmizi, Ibn Maja)
Hazrat Alqama Bin Amir (ra.) narrates that Prophet Mohammad (saw) said, “There is olive oil for you, eat it, massage over your body, since it is effective in Heamorrhoids (Piles).” (Ibn Al-Jozi, Zanbi)
Hazrat Aqba Bin Amir narrates that the Prophet Mohammad (saw) stated, “You have the olive oil from this Holy (mubarak) tree, treat yourself with this, since it cures the Anal fissure (Basoor).”
Khalid Bin Saad(R.A.) narrates, “I came to Madinah with Ghalib Bin Al Jabr. Ghalib became ill during the journey. Ibn Abi Ateeq came to see him and told a narration from Hazrat Aisha(raA.) that the Prophet Mohammad (saw) said about the cure in Kalonji. We crushed a few seeds of Kalonji and mixed it with olive oil and dropped in both nostrils, after which Ghalib became healthy.” (Ibn Maja, Bukhari)
Hazrath Abu Hurairah(R.A.) narrates that the Prophet Mohammad (saw) stated, “Eat the olive oil and apply it (locally), since there is cure for seventy diseases in it, one of them is Leprosy.” (Abu Naim)
Muadh Ibn Jabal (ra) reported that the Prophet Mohammad (saw) said, “The best miswak is that of the olive tree as it is a blessed tree. It is my miswak and that used by Prophets before me”.
These ahadith elucidate the nutritional value and other benefits of olives as well as olive oil. The mention of olives in a Divine Book, i.e. Al-Quran and also the ahadith shows its prominence.
