٣٧٥٨٨ - حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن محمد المحاربي عن عبد الملك بن عمير قال: (قيل) (١) للربيع: (ألا) (٢) ندعو لك طبيبا؟ فقال: أنظروني، ثم تفكر فقال: ﴿وَعَادًا وَثَمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُونًا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ كَثِيرًا (٣٨) وَكُلًّا ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ الْأَمْثَالَ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِيرًا﴾ [الفرقان: ٣٨ - ٣٩]، فذكر من حرصهم على الدنيا ورغبتهم فيها، (قال) (٣): (فقد) (٤) كانت فيهم أطباء، فلا المداوي بقي، ولا المداوى، هلك (الناعت والمنعوت) (٥) له، واللَّه لا تدعون لي طبيبا.
It is narrated from Hazrat Abdul Malik bin Umair that he says Hazrat Rabee’ was told, “Shall we not call a physician for you?” He replied, “Give me some respite.” Then he reflected and said: { وَعَادًا وَثُمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُونًا بَیْنَ ذَلِکَ کَثِیرًا وَکُلاًّ ضَرَبْنَا لَہُ الأَمْثَالَ وَکُلاًّ تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِیرًا } Then he mentioned their greed for worldly life and their desire for this life. He said: These people became ill and some among them were physicians, but neither the one who took the medicine remained nor the one who gave the medicine remained. Both the describer and the described fell prey to destruction. By Allah! Do not call a physician for me.
