Chapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding the Permissibility of Cauterization and the Prophet’s Dislike of It
Hadith 7656
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنْ كَانَ أَوْ إِنْ يَكُنْ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَدْوِيَتِكُمْ خَيْرٌ فَفِي شَرْطَةِ مِحْجَمٍ أَوْ شَرْبَةِ عَسَلٍ أَوْ لَذْعَةٍ بِنَارٍ تُوَافِقُ دَاءً وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَكْتَوِيَ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If there is any good in your methods of treatment, then it is in cupping, or in drinking honey, or in cauterization with fire that is suitable for the illness; however, I do not like cauterization.
Hadith 7657
عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثٌ إِنْ كَانَ فِي شَيْءٍ شِفَاءٌ فَفِي شَرْطَةِ مِحْجَمٍ أَوْ شَرْبَةِ عَسَلٍ أَوْ كَيَّةٍ تُصِيبُ أَلَمًا وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ الْكَيَّ وَلَا أُحِبُّهُ
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There are three things in which there is healing, if there is healing in anything (then it is in these three): in cupping, in drinking honey, or in cauterization which is appropriate for the treatment of pain, and I dislike cauterization.
Hadith 7658
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ الشِّفَاءُ فِي ثَلَاثَةٍ شَرْبَةِ عَسَلٍ وَشَرْطَةِ مِحْجَمٍ وَكَيَّةِ نَارٍ وَأَنْهَى أُمَّتِي عَنِ الْكَيِّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), he says: There is healing in three things: drinking honey, cupping, and cauterization with fire, but I forbid my Ummah from cauterization.
Hadith 7659
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَجُلٍ نَسْتَأْذِنُهُ أَنْ نَكْوِيَهُ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ سَأَلْنَاهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ سَأَلْنَاهُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ ارْضِفُوهُ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ كَأَنَّهُ غَضْبَانُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we went to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to visit him due to his foot ailment. We sought permission from him to apply cauterization. In response, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. We asked again, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. When we asked for the third time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you wish, then apply a hot stone. It was as if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was angry.
Hadith 7660
عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَوَانِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا فَمَا نُهِيتُ عَنْهُ

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Sayyiduna As‘ad bin Zurarah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was one of the leaders on the Day of ‘Aqabah, reported that redness appeared on his face and body. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The corpse of the Jews is very bad." He said this twice. "Soon these Jews will say that this Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) could not remove the suffering from his companion. But listen, I do not possess the power to harm or benefit him. However, I will certainly try my utmost to remove this suffering." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered, and two lines were cauterized on his head, but he was not cured and passed away.
