" أَتَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ وأَصْحَابُهُ عِنْدَهُ كَأَنَّمَا عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمُ الطَّيْرُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْه، وَقَعَدْتُ فجاءَتِ الأعْرَابُ فَسَأَلُوه فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ الله نَتَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ تَدَاووا فَإِن الله لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاء إِلاَّ وَضَعَ لَهُ دَوَاءً غَيْرَ واحِدٍ الْهَرَم، فَكَانَ أُسَامَةُ بنُ شَرِيكٍ حِينَ كَبِرَ يَقُولُ: تَرَوْنَ لي مِنْ دَوَاء الآنَ (قال: ) وَسَأَلُوهُ عَن أَشْيَاء لا بَأسَ بِهَا: عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ في كَذَا؟ عَلَيْنا حَرَجٌ في كذَا؟ قَالَ: عِبَادَ الله وَضَعَ الله الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا امْرَأَ اقْتَرَضَ مُسْلِمًا ظُلمًا فَذَاكَ الَّذِى حَرِجَ وَهَلَك، قَالُوا: مَا خَيْرَ مَا أُعْطِى النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ الله؟ قَالَ: خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ".

Collected by Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Ḥākim, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī“I saw the Bedouins asking the Prophet ﷺ: ‘Is there any harm in such and such, is there any harm in such and such?’ He said to them: ‘O slaves of Allah! Allah has only made harm in that which transgresses the honor of one’s brother. That is what is sinful.’ They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Is there any sin if we do not seek treatment?’ He said: ‘Seek treatment, O slaves of Allah! For Allah does not create any disease but He also creates with it the cure, except for old age.’ They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that a person may be given?’ He said: ‘Good manners.’”
شَهِدْتُ الأَعْرَابَ يَسْأَلُونَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا أَعَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ وَضَعَ اللَّهُ الْحَرَجَ إِلاَّ مَنِ اقْتَرَضَ مِنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيهِ شَيْئًا فَذَاكَ الَّذِي حَرَجٌ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ عَلَيْنَا جُنَاحٌ أَنْ نَتَدَاوَى قَالَ تَدَاوَوْا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلاَّ وَضَعَ مَعَهُ شِفَاءً إِلاَّ الْهَرَمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ الْعَبْدُ قَالَ خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ
[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.'"
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عِنْدَهُ كَأَنَّمَا عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ الطَّيْرُ قَالَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَعَدْتُ قَالَ فَجَاءَتِ الْأَعْرَابُ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَتَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ تَدَاوَوْا فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ دَوَاءً غَيْرَ دَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ الْهَرَمُ قَالَ وَكَانَ أُسَامَةُ حِينَ كَبِرَ يَقُولُ هَلْ تَرَوْنَ لِي مِنْ دَوَاءٍ الْآنَ؟ قَالَ وَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ هَلْ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ عِبَادَ اللهِ وَضَعَ اللهُ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا امْرَأً اقْتَرَضَ امْرَأً مُسْلِمًا ظُلْمًا فَذَلِكَ حَرِجَ وَهَلَكَ قَالُوا مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ
[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."
شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْأَعْرَابُ يَسْأَلُونَهُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا؟ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا؟ لِأَشْيَاءَ لَيْسَ بِهَا بَأْسٌ فَقَالَ «عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَضَعَ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مَنِ اقْتَرَفَ مِنْ عِرْضِ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ ظُلْمًا فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرِجَ وَهَلَكَ» فَقَالُوا نَتَدَاوَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ تَدَاوَوْا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ دَوَاءً غَيْرَ دَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ «الْهَرَمُ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ الْإِنْسَانُ؟ قَالَ «خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ»
[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."
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عِنْدَهُ كَأَنَّمَا عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمُ الطَّيْرُ فَسَلَّمْتُ وَقَعَدْتُ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابٌ يَسْأَلُونَهُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ حَتَّى قَالُوا أَنَتَدَاوَى قَالَ «تَدَاوَوْا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ دَوَاءً» فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ فَقَالَ «عِبَادَ اللَّهِ وُضِعَ الْحَرَجُ لَا امْرَأً اقْتَرَضَ امْرَأً ظُلْمًا فَذَلِكَ حَرَجٌ وَهَلَكَ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ النَّاسُ؟ قَالَ «خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ»
[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." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that people are given?" He said, "People are not given anything better than good character."
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ عَلَى رُءُوسِ أَصْحَابِهِ الطَّيْرُ فَجَاءَتْهُ الْأَعْرَابُ مِنْ هَهُنَا وَهَهُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِبَادَ اللهِ رَفَعَ اللهُ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مَنِ اقْتَرَضَ مِنَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ ظُلْمًا فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرَجَ وَهَلَكَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَتَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ تَدَاوَوْا فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ دَوَاءً إِلَّا الْهَرَمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ النَّاسُ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يُعْطَوْا شَيْئًا خَيْرًا مِنْ خُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ»
[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ when the Bedouins came, many people from here and there. The people became silent, no one spoke except for them. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, do we have any difficulty in this matter? In some matters of people, is there no harm in them?" He said, "O servants of Allah, Allah has not imposed any difficulty except on him who borrows unjustly, so it is he who has the difficulty and is destroyed." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, do we have any difficulty in seeking treatment?" He said, "Treat yourself, O servants of Allah, for Allah has not placed any disease except that He has also placed a cure for it, except for old age." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that a person can be given?" He said, "Good manners."
كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَهُ الْأَعْرَابُ نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ هَهُنَا وَهَهُنَا فَأَسْكَتَ النَّاسُ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ غَيْرُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا؟ فِي أَشْيَاءَ مِنْ أُمُورِ النَّاسِ لَا بَأْسَ بِهَا فَقَالَ عِبَادَ اللهِ وَضَعَ اللهُ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مَنِ اقْتَرَضَ امْرَأً ظُلْمًا فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرَجَ وَهَلَكَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ أَنْ نَتَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ تَدَاوَوْا عِبَادَ اللهِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ دَوَاءً إِلَّا الْهَرَمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ الْمَرْءُ؟ قَالَ «الْخُلُقُ الْحَسَنُ»
[Machine] "I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ , and the Bedouins came to him saying, 'We are facing difficulty in such and such matter, we are facing difficulty in such and such matter, is there any harm in it?' He said, 'O servants of Allah, Allah has removed all difficulty except for the one who borrows from someone and intends to repay him back. That person is the one who faces difficulty and destruction.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, do you seek medical treatment?' He said, 'Yes, seek medical treatment. Indeed, Allah has not revealed a disease except that He has also revealed its cure, except for one disease.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing a person can be given?' He said, 'Good manners.'"
شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَتَاهُ الْأَعْرَابُ فَقَالُوا عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا فِي أَشْيَاءَ مِنْ أُمُورِهِمْ لَا بَأْسَ بِهَا؟ فَقَالَ «عِبَادَ اللهِ وَضَعَ اللهُ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مِنْ رَجُلٍ اقْتَرَضَ مِنْ عِرْضِ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرَجَ وَهَلَكَ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَتَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ تَدَاوَوْا فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ شِفَاءً غَيْرَ دَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ الْإِنْسَانُ؟ قَالَ «خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ»
[Machine] I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the Bedouins came from all directions, until they surrounded him, and the people became silent. They called out, "O Messenger of Allah, can you cure?" He replied, "Yes, indeed Allah has not created any disease except that He has also created its cure, except for one disease." They asked, "What is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Old age." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the best thing that can be given to a person?" He replied, "Good manners." They called out, "O Messenger of Allah, we face difficulties in various matters. What should be done about that?" He said, "O servants of Allah, Allah has not created any difficulty except for those who borrow from others, for that is what causes difficulty and loss."
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ الْأَعْرَابُ مِنْ كُلِّ نَحْوٍ حَتَّى كَثُرُوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَكَتَ النَّاسُ فَنَادَوْا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَتَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ شِفَاءً غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ» قَالُوا مَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ الْهَرَمُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ لِلْإِنْسَانُ؟ قَالَ خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ فَنَادَوْا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ مِمَّا يَكُونُ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَالَ «يَا عِبَادَ اللهِ وَضَعَ اللهُ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا مَنِ اقْتَرَضَ مِنْ عِرْضٍ امْرِئٍ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرِجَ وَهَلَكَ»
[Machine] I witnessed the Bedouins asking the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about certain things that had no harm in them, saying, "Is there any harm for us in doing so, O Messenger of Allah? Is there any harm for us in doing such and such?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O servants of Allah, Allah has made ease and has not made difficulty, except for a man who takes a loan and does not intend to pay it back. That is a difficulty." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, shall we seek medical treatment?" He said, "Yes, Allah has not created any disease but He has also created its cure, except for one disease." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is it?" He said, "Old age."
