[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Companions were with him. It was as if birds were on their heads. So, I greeted and sat down. Then, some Bedouins came to ask him about certain things, until they asked, "Should we seek medication?" He said, "Seek medication, for indeed Allah the Most High has not placed a disease except that He has also placed a cure for it." Then, they asked him about other things, and he said, "O servants of Allah, hardship is placed upon people. It is not permissible for a person to borrow from another person unjustly. That is a hardship and destruction." They then asked him, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that people can be given?" He said, "Good character."

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ with his companions, and it was as if birds were perched on their heads. I greeted him and sat down. Then the Bedouins came and asked him, "O Messenger of Allah, shall we seek medical treatment?" He replied, "Yes, seek medical treatment, for Allah has not made any disease without providing a remedy for it, except for one disease, old age." Umar said, "When Usamah reached old age, he used to ask, 'Do you see any cure for me now?' They also asked him about certain matters, whether there was any difficulty in doing them or not. He said, 'O slaves of Allah, Allah has not placed any difficulty in anything except when a Muslim wrongfully takes another Muslim's property as a loan. That is a difficulty and a cause of his destruction.' They asked, 'What is the best thing given to people, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'Good character.'"

[Machine] I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Bedouins asking him, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, do we have any hardship in such a matter? Do we have any hardship in such a matter?" concerning things that are not harmful. He ﷺ said, "O slaves of Allah, Allah has relieved us of the hardship, except for the one who wrongs a Muslim's honor. That is the one who has hardship and perishes." So they said, "Should we seek medical treatment, O Messenger of Allah?" He ﷺ said, "Yes, seek medical treatment, O slaves of Allah, for Allah Almighty has not created a disease except that He has also created its cure except for one disease." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is it?" He ﷺ said, "Old age." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that a person can be given?" He ﷺ said, "Good manners."

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ at Arafat and greeted him. He had a bird on his head and the Bedouins came to him from here and there saying, "O Messenger of Allah, we have difficulties in such and such." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O servants of Allah, Allah removes difficulties except for those who unjustly oppress others by borrowing money. They are the ones who face difficulties and destruction." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, should we seek medical treatment?" He replied, "Seek medical treatment, for Allah has not sent down an illness without providing a cure for it except for old age."
