Hadith 685
اَخْبَرَنَا سُفْیَانُ، عَنْ زِیَادِ بْنِ عَلَاقَةَ اَنَّهٗ سَمِعَهٗ مِنْ اُسَامَةَ بْنِ شَرِیْكٍ، وَشَهِدْتُ النَّبِیَّ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْاَعْرَابُ یَسْأَلُوْنَهٗ: ہَلْ عَلَیْنَا جُنَاحٌ فِیْ کَذَا؟ هَلْ عَلَیْنَا جُنَاحٌ فِیْ کَذَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ، رَفَعَ اللّٰهُ الْحَرَجَ، اِلَّا اِمْرَئًا اِقْتَرَضَ مِنْ عِرْضِ اَخِیْهِ شَیْئًا، فَذٰلِكَ الَّذِیْ خَرَجَ وَهَلَكَ۔ فَقَالُوْا: یَا رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ، اَنَتَدَاوَی؟ قَالَ: تَدَاوُوْا، فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَمْ یَنْزِلْ دَاءً اِلَّا اَنْزَلَ لَهٗ دَوَاءً اِلَّا الْمَوْتَ، قَالُوْا: یَا رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ فَمَا اَفْضَلُ مَا اُعْطِیَ الْعَبْدُ؟ فَقَالَ: خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ۔.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usama bin Sharik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was present when the Bedouins were asking the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) questions: Is there any harm for us in doing such and such a thing? Is there any sin for us in doing such and such a thing? So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O servants of Allah! Allah has removed hardship/difficulty, except for the one who cuts off a portion from his brother’s honor; so this is the person who has sinned and is destroyed." They said: O Messenger of Allah! Should we seek medical treatment? So he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Seek medical treatment, for Allah has sent down a cure for every disease He has sent down, except death." They said: O Messenger of Allah! What is the best thing that has been given to a servant? He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Good character."
