Those who disliked medical treatment and did not approve of it

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rimthah (may Allah be pleased with him); he says: I was young, and I came with my father to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Abu Rimthah says: My father said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): I am a physician, so show me this raised flesh on your back. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What will you do with it?" My father replied: I will cut it away. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are not a physician; rather, you are a gentle one. Its physician is the One who made it." Another narrator said: "the One who created it."

It is reported about al-Hasan that he used to dislike drinking all medicines except milk and honey.

It is reported about Muhammad that he used to dislike drinking compound medicines, except a medicine that he recognized (he did not dislike that), and when he wished to take such a medicine, he saw to it himself.

It is reported about Ibn Ma'qil that he used to dislike (the use of) a foul medicine that, when it takes hold in a person, kills him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him); he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade foul medicine.

It is narrated from Abd al-Malik bin Umayr; he says that al-Rabi' bin Khuthaym was asked during his illness: Shall we not call a physician for you? He said: Give me some time. Then he reflected and said: "And Ad and Thamud and the people of al-Rass, and many generations between them. To each We set forth examples, and each We destroyed utterly." [Al-Furqan: 38-39] Then he mentioned their greed for this world and their desire for it, and said: These people were sick too, and there were physicians among them. Yet neither the one who gave medicine remained, nor the one who took it. The one who prescribed perished, and the one for whom it was prescribed perished too. By Allah, do not call a physician for me.

It is reported about Muhammad that he used to dislike al-sukarbana (date extract).

It is narrated from Mu'awiyah bin Qurrah; he says that Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) fell ill, and people went to visit him. They said to him: Shall we not call a physician for you? Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' said: It is He who has laid me in this bed.
