عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَيْثُ خَلَقَ الدَّاءَ خَلَقَ الدَّوَاءَ فَتَدَاوَوْا
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah Almighty has created the cure wherever He has created the disease, so seek treatment.
Hadith 7622
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِكُلِّ دَاءٍ دَوَاءٌ فَإِذَا أَصَابَتْ دَوَاءٌ الدَّاءَ بَرَأَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: For every disease there is a cure; when the medicine matches the disease, by the command of Allah, the patient becomes healthy.
Hadith 7623
عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ شَرِيكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ قَالَ أَحْسَنُهُمْ خُلُقًا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَتَدَاوَى قَالَ تَدَاوَوْا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا أَنْزَلَ لَهُ شِفَاءً عَلِمَهُ مَنْ عَلِمَهُ وَجَهِلَهُ مَنْ جَهِلَهُ
Usamah bin Sharik narrates from a man of his tribe that a Bedouin came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Who among the people is the best? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: The one who has the best character. He then said: O Messenger of Allah! Can we seek medical treatment? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Absolutely, seek treatment. Allah Almighty has not sent down any disease except that He has also created its cure and its healing; whoever knows it, knows it, and whoever remains unaware of it, remains unaware.
Hadith 7624
وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ شَرِيكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عِنْدَهُ كَأَنَّمَا عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمُ الطَّيْرُ قَالَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَعَدْتُ قَالَ فَجَاءَ الْأَعْرَابُ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَتَدَاوَى قَالَ نَعَمْ تَدَاوَوْا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ دَوَاءً غَيْرَ دَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ الْهَرَمِ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ إِلَّا الْمَوْتَ وَالْهَرَمَ قَالَ وَكَانَ أُسَامَةُ حِينَ كَبِرَ يَقُولُ هَلْ تَرَوْنَ لِي مِنْ دَوَاءٍ الْآنَ قَالَ وَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ هَلْ عَلَيْنَا حَرَجٌ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ وَضَعَ اللَّهُ الْحَرَجَ إِلَّا امْرَأً اقْتَضَى امْرَأً مُسْلِمًا ظُلْمًا فَذَلِكَ حَرَجٌ وَهُلْكٌ قَالُوا مَا خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ
(Second chain) Shu’bah, from Ziyad bin ‘Ilaqah, and he from Sayyiduna Usamah bin Sharik (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that he said: I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while his noble companions were also present with him. They were sitting so respectfully as if birds were perched on their heads. I greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and sat down there. A Bedouin came and asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Can we seek treatment? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes! Seek treatment or get treated. Indeed, Allah Almighty has created a cure for every disease He has created, except for old age (and according to one narration, also death). When Sayyiduna Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) became old, he used to say: Can you treat me now? Besides this, the Bedouins asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Is there any harm in such-and-such thing? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O servants of Allah! Allah Almighty has not placed any hardship in the religion, except in the matter where a Muslim commits oppression; that is hardship, that is destruction. They said: O Messenger of Allah! What is the best thing that has been given to people? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Good character.
Hadith 7625
عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ عَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا بِهِ جَرْحٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ادْعُوا لَهُ طَبِيبَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ قَالَ فَدَعَوْهُ فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَيُغْنِي الدَّوَاءُ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَهَلْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنْ دَاءٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا جَعَلَ لَهُ شِفَاءً
It is narrated from a Companion that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, visited an Ansari man who was wounded. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Call the physician of such-and-such tribe." The people called him and he came. He said: "O Messenger of Allah! O Messenger of Allah! Does medicine benefit?" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Glory be to Allah! For every disease that exists on the earth, Allah Almighty has also created its cure."
Hadith 7626
عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَكْوِي غُلَامًا قَالَ قُلْتُ تَكْوِيهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ دَوَاءُ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ مَعَهُ دَوَاءً جَهِلَهُ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ جَهِلَهُ وَعَلِمَهُ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ عَلِمَهُ
‘Ata bin Sa’ib narrates that I came to ‘Abd al-Rahman, and he was branding a slave. I said: Do you brand him? He said: Yes, this is the Arabs’ method of treatment. It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has not created any disease except that He has also sent down its cure. Whoever among you is ignorant of it, is ignorant of it, and whoever has come to know it, has come to know it.
Hadith 7627
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَانَ الْكَيِّ التَّكْمِيدُ وَمَكَانَ الْعِلَاقِ السَّعُوطُ وَمَكَانَ النَّفْخِ اللَّدُودُ
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Applying heat with a cloth is better than cauterization; instilling drops in the nose is a better method of treatment than applying medicine by inserting a finger into the throat; and administering medicine from one side of the mouth is a better method of treatment than blowing into the throat.
Hadith 7628
عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ أَبِي خِزَامَةَ أَحَدَ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ هُذَيْمٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ دَوَاءً نَتَدَاوَى بِهِ وَرُقًى نَسْتَرْقِيهَا وَتُقًى نَتَّقِيهَا هَلْ تَرُدُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَدَرِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّهُ مِنْ قَدَرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
Abu Khuzamah, who is from Banu Harith bin Sa’d bin Maryam, narrates: O Messenger of Allah! Tell us, when we treat ourselves with medicine, and perform ruqyah (spiritual healing), and take precautions for protection (i.e., we take preventive measures), do these things repel the decree of Allah? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These too are a part of Allah’s decree.
