Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38296 — Reports on weeping out of fear
٣٨٢٩٦ - [حدثنا سعيد بن عبد اللَّه عن (نسير) (١) عن بكر قال: كان الربيع إذا قيل له: ألا تداوى؟ قال: (قد أردت (ذلك)) (٢) (٣)، ثم (ذكرت) (٤) عادا وثمودا وأصحاب الرس وقرونا بين ذلك كثيرا، فعرفت (أنه) (٥) قد كانت فيهم أوجاع، ولهم أطباء، فمات المداوي والمداوى] (٦).
It is narrated from Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) that when al-Rabi' was asked, "Why do you not use medicine?" he replied: "At first I intended to. Then I remembered the people of Ad, the people of Thamud, the Companions of al-Rass and many peoples between them, and I came to know that they too had ailments and they had physicians. Yet the one who treated and the one who was treated have both passed away."
