I set out with my father when I was a young boy, and we came across a man from al-Hajirah sitting in the shade of his house. He had two green saddlebags, abundant hair, and a reddish mark of henna on his head. My father asked me, "Do you know who this is?" I replied, "No." He said, "This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He then spoke to him at length. My father said to him, "I am a practitioner of medicine. Show me what is on the inside of your shoulder. If it is merchandise, I will cut it, and if it is something else, I will inform you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at me and asked, "Is this your son?" My father replied, "I bear witness to it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to my father, "Look at what he is saying." My father replied, "Yes, by the Lord of the Kaaba." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then laughed at the resemblance I had to my father and his oath regarding me. He said, "O man, neither hold me accountable for him nor let him be accountable for me."  

انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ أَبِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَأَتَيْنَا رَجُلًا مِنَ الْهَاجِرَةِ جَالِسًا فِي ظِلِّ بَيْتِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ وَشَعْرُهُ وَفْرَةٌ وَبِرَأْسِهِ رَدْعٌ مِنْ حِنَّاءٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي أَتَدْرِي مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا قَالَ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَتَحَدَّثْنَا طَوِيلًا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي إِنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ طِبٍّ فَأَرِنِي الَّذِي بِبَاطِنِ كَتِفِكَ فَإِنْ تَكُ سِلْعَةً قَطَعْتُهَا وَإِنْ تَكُنْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ قَالَ طَبِيبُهَا الَّذِي خَلَقَهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ نَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُكَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ انْظُرْ مَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ إِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِشَبَهِي بِأَبِي وَلِحَلِفِ أَبِي عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا هَذَا لَا يَجْنِي عَلَيْكَ وَلَا تَجْنِي عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I arrived in the city and had not seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He came out wearing two green garments, so I said to my son, "By Allah, this is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." My son started trembling out of awe for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a doctor and my father was a doctor, and we are a family of physicians. By Allah, nothing is hidden from us in the human body, not a vein or a bone. Show me what is on your shoulder, for if it is a disease, I will remove it and treat it." He said, "Its doctor is Allah." Then he asked, "Who is this person with you?" I said, "My son, by the Lord of the Ka'bah." He said, "Your son?" I said, "My son testifies to it." He said, "Your son will not harm you, nor will you harm him."  

قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِي هَذَا وَاللهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ ابْنِي يَرْتَعِدُ هَيْبَةً لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ طَبِيبٌ وَإِنَّ أَبِي كَانَ طَبِيبًا وَإِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتِ طِبٍّ وَاللهِ مَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْجَسَدِ عِرْقٌ وَلَا عَظْمٌ فَأَرِنِي هَذِهِ الَّتِي عَلَى كَتِفِكَ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ سِلْعَةً قَطَعْتُهَا ثُمَّ دَاوَيْتُهَا قَالَ لَا طَبِيبُهَا اللهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي مَعَكَ؟ قُلْتُ ابْنِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ ابْنُكَ؟ قَالَ ابْنِي أَشْهَدُ بِهِ قَالَ ابْنُكَ هَذَا لَا يَجْنِيعَلَيْكَ وَلَا تَجْنِي عَلَيْهِ  

I went to the Prophet peace be upon him, and with me was my son. I said to my son, when I saw him, "This is the Prophet of Allah." Then he (my son) had a seizure. So I said to the Prophet ﷺ, "O Prophet of Allah, I am a physician and my father was a physician from a family of physicians. Show me your back, if there is a lump on it, I will treat it, and if it is something else, I will inform you. For there is no one more knowledgeable than me regarding injuries and wounds." He said, "There is no physician except Allah, and upon him are two green bandages, and he has hair that has turned gray, and his beard is red." Then he said, "Is this your son?" I said, "Yes, I swear by the Lord of the Kāba." He said, "Is it from yourself?" I said, "I testify to it." He said, "Indeed, it does not harm you nor does it harm him."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعِي ابْنِي فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِي لَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ هَذَا نَبِيُّ اللهِ فَأَخَذَتْهُ الرِّعْدَةُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ طَبِيبٌ وَكَانَ وَالِدِي طَبِيبًا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ أَطِبَّاءَ فَأَرِنِي ظَهْرَكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ سِلْعَةٌ أَبُطُّهَا وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ أَعْلَمَ بِجُرْحٍ أَوْ جِرَاحٍ مِنِّي قَالَ لَا طَبِيبَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ وَلَهُ شَعَرٌ قَدْ عَلَاهُ الشَّيْبُ وَشَيْبُهُ أَحْمَرُ فَقَالَ ابْنُكَ هَذَا قُلْتُ إِيْ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ قَالَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ قُلْتُ أَشْهَدُ بِهِ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَجْنِي عَلَيْكَ وَلَا تَجْنِي عَلَيْهِ
