٥٣۔ كِتَابُ الطِّبِ
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالتَّدَاوِي، إِذِ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لَمْ يَخْلُقْ دَاءً إِلَّا خَلَقَ لَهُ دَوَاءً خَلَا شَيْئَيْنِ
[Machine] Usama ibn Sharik heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "I witnessed a scene where the Bedouins asked him, 'O Messenger of Allah, do we bear any sin in doing this?' This happened twice. He replied, 'O servants of Allah, Allah has not placed any hardship except for a person who has borrowed something from his brother and finds it difficult to repay. That is the hardship.' They asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, do we bear any sin if we seek medical treatment?' He replied, 'Seek medical treatment, O servants of Allah, for Allah has not created any disease except that He has also created its cure.' They asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that a servant is given?' He replied, 'Good character.' Sufyan said, 'There is no chain of narration on the face of the earth today that is more authentic than this one.'"
سَمِعَ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ شَرِيكٍ يَقُولُ شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَالْأَعْرَابُ يَسْأَلُونَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ عَلَيْنَا جُنَاحٌ فِي كَذَا؟ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ «عِبَادَ اللَّهِ وَضَعَ اللَّهُ الْ حَرَجَ إِلَّا امْرُؤٌ اقْتَرَضَ مِنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيهِ شَيْئًا فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرِجَ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَهَلْ عَلَيْنَا جُنَاحٌ أَنْ نَتَدَاوَى؟ فَقَالَ «تَدَاوَوْا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ دَوَاءً» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ الْعَبْدُ؟ قَالَ «خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ» قَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ الْيَوْمَ إِسْنَادٌ أَجْوَدُ مِنْ هَذَا
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ إِنْزَالِ اللَّهِ لِكُلِّ دَاءٍ دَوَاءً يُتَدَاوَى بِهِ
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammadﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has not sent down a disease except that He has also sent down its cure. Some people may be aware of it while others may be unaware."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا أَنْزَلَ مَعَهُ دَوَاءٌ جَهِلَهُ مَنْ جَهِلَهُ وَعَلِمَهُ مَنْ عَلِمَهُ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ الْعِلَّةَ الَّتِي خَلَقَهَا اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا إِذَا عُولِجَتْ بِدَوَاءٍ غَيْرِ دَوَائِهَا لَمْ تَبْرَأْ حَتَّى تُعَالَجَ بِهِ
There is a remedy for every malady, and when the remedy is applied to the disease it is cured with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious. (Using translation from Muslim 2204)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ دَاءٍ دَوَاءً فَإِذَا أُصِيبَ دَوَاءُ الدَّاءِ بَرَأَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الشَّيْئَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ لَا دَوَاءَ لَهُمَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Treat yourselves, for indeed Allah has not sent down any disease except that He has also sent down its cure, except for old age and death."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَدَاوَوْا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ لَهُ شِفَاءً إِلَّا السَّامَ وَالْهَرَمَ»
ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ تَدَاوِي الْمَرْءِ بِمَا لَا يَحِلُّ اسْتِعْمَالُهُ مِنَ الْأَشْيَاءِ كُلِّهَا
[Machine] Abu said that they came to the Prophet ﷺ , and a man from the tribe of Khath'am named Suwayd ibn Tariq approached him. He said, "We make alcohol, and he (the Prophet) prohibited it." The man said, "We only use it for medical purposes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is not a cure, indeed it is a disease."
عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُمْ أَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ يُقَالُ لَهُ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّا نَصْنَعُ الْخَمْرَ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا نَتَدَاوَى بِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيْسَتْ بِدَوَاءٍ إِنَّهَا دَاءٌ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِإِبْرَادِ الْحُمَّى بِالْمَاءِ بِذِكْرِ لَفْظَةٍ مُجْمَلَةٍ غَيْرِ مُفَسَّرَةٍ
Fever is due to vehemence of the heat of Hell, so cool it with water. (Using translation from Muslim 2209b)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَأَبْرِدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِصِحَّةِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Fever is from the heat of Hell, so extinguish it with water."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَوْرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَأَطْفِئُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُفَسِّرِ لِلَّفْظَةِ الْمُجْمَلَةِ الَّتِي ذَكَرْنَاهَا بِأَنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحُمَّى إِنَّمَا تُبَرَّدُ بِمَاءِ زَمْزَمَ دُونَ غَيْرِهِ مِنَ الْمِيَاهِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Fever is a heat from the fires of Hell, so cool it down with Zamzam water."
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَأَبْرِدُوهَا بِمَاءِ زَمْزَمَ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ نَفَى جَوَازَ اتِّخَاذِ النُّشْرَةِ لِلْأَعِلَّاءِ
[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, it is narrated that he entered upon him and said, "Remove the pain, O Lord of the people, from Thabit ibn Qais ibn Shammas." Then, he took some soil from Buthan and placed it in a container that had water in it, and poured it onto him.
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «اكْشِفِ الْبَأْسَ رَبَّ النَّاسِ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ الشَّمَّاسِ» ثُمَّ أَخَذَ تُرَابًا مِنْ بُطْحَانَ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي قَدَحٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَصَبَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالتَّدَاوِي بِالْقُسْطِ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ
[Machine] Um Qais bint Muhsin, who was one of the early female migrants who pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and she was the sister of Ukkashah ibn Muhsin. She informed me that she came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with her son who had not eaten food and was suffering from constipation. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Why do you tie your children with this suspension? Use this Indian oud (a piece of wood) known as the costus, as it has seven healing properties, including the one for constipation."
أَنَّ أُمَّ قَيْسِ بِنْتَ مِحْصَنٍ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ الْأُوَلِ اللَّاتِي بَايَعْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ أُخْتُ عُكَّاشَةَ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ أَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّهَا أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِابْنٍ لَهَا لَمْ يَأْكُلِ الطَّعَامَ وَقَدْ أَعْلَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَلَامَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْإِعْلَاقِ؟ عَلَيْكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ يَعْنِي بِهِ الْكُسْتَ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالتَّدَاوِي بِالْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ لِمَنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ مُلَائِمًا لِطَبْعِهِ
“I heard Salim bin ‘Abdullah narrating from his father that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘You should eat this black seed, for in it there is healing from every disease, except the Sam (death).’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3448)

“The best of your kohl is antimony, for it improves the eyesight and makes the hair (eyelashes) grow.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3497)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «خَيْرُ أَكْحَالِكُمُ الْإِثْمِدُ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ يُنْبِتُ الشَّعْرَ وَيَجْلُو الْبَصَرَ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us with dates in his hand and said, "These are from Al-Man, and its water is a cure for the eye."
خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَفِي يَدِهِ أَكْمُؤٌ فَقَالَ «هَؤُلَاءِ مِنَ الْمَنِّ وَمَاؤُهَا شِفَاءٌ لِلْعَيْنِ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ أَوْهَمَ غَيْرَ الْمُتَبَحِّرِ فِي صِنَاعَةِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ أَلْبَانَ الْبَقَرِ نَافِعَةٌ لِكُلِّ مَنْ بِهِ عِلَّةٌ مِنَ الْعِلَلِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has not sent down a disease except that He has also sent down its cure. So, take to the milk of cows, for indeed it is a remedy for every ailment."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ دَاءً إِلَّا أَنْزَلَ لَهُ دَوَاءً فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِأَلْبَانِ الْبَقَرِ فَإِنَّهَا تَرُمُّ مِنْ كُلِّ الشَّجَرِ»

AbuHind cupped the Prophet ﷺ in the middle of his head. The Prophet ﷺ said: Banu Bayadah, marry AbuHind (to your daughter), and ask him to marry (his daughter) to you. He said: The best thing by which you treat yourself is cupping. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2102)
أَنَّ أَبَا هِنْدٍ حَجَمَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي الْيَافُوخِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنْكِحُوا أَبَا هِنْدٍ وَانْكِحُوا إِلَيْهِ» فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِمَّا تَدَاوَوْنَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ فَالْحِجَامَةُ»

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade cauterization. I had myself cauterized and I have not prospered or succeeded.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3490)

[Machine] "People came and asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a companion of theirs whom they wished to accuse. He remained silent. They asked him thrice, and he remained silent. He disliked their inquiry."
«جَاءَ نَاسٌ فَسَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَاحِبٍ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَكْوُوهُ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ ثَلَاثًا فَسَكَتَ وَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ» *
