“I said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah, in our land there are grapes which we squeeze (to
make wine). Can we drink from it?’ He said: ‘No.’ I repeated
the
question and said: ‘We treat the sick with it.’ He said:
‘That is not
a cure, it is a disease.’”
Salma
Umm Rafi’, the freed slave woman of the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ),
said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، حَدَّثَنَا فَائِدٌ، مَوْلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلاَىَ، عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتِي، سَلْمَى أُمُّ رَافِعٍ مَوْلاَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ لاَ يُصِيبُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَرْحَةٌ وَلاَ شَوْكَةٌ إِلاَّ وَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ الْحِنَّاءَ .
“The Prophet (ﷺ) did not suffer any injury or thorn-
prick
but he would apply henna to it.”
It was
narrated from Anas that some people from ‘Urainah came to the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) but they were averse to the climate of
Al-
Madinah. He (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ نَاسًا، مِنْ عُرَيْنَةَ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَاجْتَوَوُا الْمَدِينَةَ فَقَالَ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" لَوْ خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى ذَوْدٍ لَنَا فَشَرِبْتُمْ مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا " . فَفَعَلُوا .
“Why don’t you go out to a flock of
camels of
ours, and drink their milk and urine.” And they did that.
Chapter 31: If a fly falls into a vessel - كتاب الطب
Abu
Sa’eed narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" فِي أَحَدِ جَنَاحَىِ الذُّبَابِ سُمٌّ وَفِي الآخَرِ شِفَاءٌ فَإِذَا وَقَعَ فِي الطَّعَامِ فَامْقُلُوهُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُقَدِّمُ السُّمَّ وَيُؤَخِّرُ الشِّفَاءَ " .
“On one
of the wings of a fly there is a poison and on the other is the cure.
If it falls into the food, then dip it into it, for it puts the
poison
first and holds back the cure.”
“ ‘Amir bin
Rabi’ah passed by Sahl bin Hunaif when he was having a bath, and
said:
‘I have never seen such beautiful skin.’ Straightaway, he
(Sahl) fell
to the ground. He was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and it
was said:
‘Sahl has had a fit.’ He said: ‘Whom do you accuse
with regard to
him?’ They said: “ ‘Amir bin Rabi’ah.’ They
said: ‘Why would anyone of
you kill his brother? If he sees
something that he likes, then let him
pray for blessing for him.’
Then he called for water, and he told
‘Amir to perform ablution,
then he washed his face and his arms up to
the elbows, his knees and
inside his lower garment, then he told him
to pour the water over
him.”
“Asma’ said:
‘O Messenger of Allah! The children of Ja’far have been afflicted
by
the evil eye, shall I recite Ruqyah* for them?’ He said: ‘Yes,
for if
anything were to overtake the Divine decree it would be the
evil
eye.’”
Chapter 33: One who seeks Ruqyah to treat the evil eye - كتاب الطب
It was
narrated that Abu Sa’eed said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبَّادٍ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ عَيْنِ الْجَانِّ وَأَعْيُنِ الإِنْسِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الْمُعَوِّذَتَانِ أَخَذَهُمَا وَتَرَكَ مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
used
to seek refuge from the evil eye of the jinn and of mankind. When
the
Mu’awwidhatain* were revealed, he started to recite them and
stopped reciting anything else.”
Chapter 34: What is permitted regarding Ruqyah - كتاب الطب
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَنَّ خَالِدَةَ بِنْتَ أَنَسٍ أُمَّ بَنِي حَزْمٍ السَّاعِدِيَّةَ، جَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الرُّقَى فَأَمَرَهَا بِهَا .
It as
narrated from Abu Bakr bin Muhammad that Khalidah bint Anas,
the
mother of Banu Hazm As-Sa’idiyyah, came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and
recited a Ruqyah to him, and he told her to use it.
“There was a family among the Ansar,
called Al ‘Amr bin Hazm, who used to recite Ruqyah for the scorpion
sting, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade Ruqyah. They came to
him and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! You have forbidden Ruqyah, but
we
recite Ruqyah against the scorpion’s sting.’ He said to them:
‘Recite
it to me.’ So they recited it to him, and he said: ‘There
is nothing
wrong with this, this is confirmed.’”
Chapter 34: What is permitted regarding Ruqyah - كتاب الطب
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَخَّصَ فِي الرُّقْيَةِ مِنَ الْحُمَةِ وَالْعَيْنِ وَالنَّمْلَةِ .
It was
narrated from Anas that the Prophet (ﷺ) allowed Ruqyah for
the
scorpion’s sting, the evil eye, and Namlah (sores or small
pustules
ulcers or sores on a person’s sides).
“A scorpion stung a man and
he did
not sleep all the night. It was said to the Prophet (ﷺ): ‘So-
and-so
was stung by a scorpion and he did not sleep all the night.’ He
said: ‘If he had said, last night: A’udhu
bikalimatil-lahit-tammati
min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in the
Perfect Words of Allah from
the evil of that which He has created),
the scorpion sting would not
have harmed him, until morning.’”
Chapter 36: What the Prophet (saws) recited to seek refuge for others and what was recited (in that regard) for him - كتاب الطب
It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا أَتَى الْمَرِيضَ فَدَعَا لَهُ قَالَ
" أَذْهِبِ الْبَاسْ رَبَّ النَّاسْ وَاشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي لاَ شِفَاءَ إِلاَّ شِفَاؤُكَ شِفَاءً لاَ يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا " .
“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
came to a sick person, he would make supplication for him, and would
say: Adhhibil-bas, Rabban-nas, washfi Antash-Shafi, la shifa’a illa
shifa’uka shifa’an la yughadiru saqama (Take away the pain, O Lord of
mankind, and grant healing, for You are the Healer, and there is no
healing but Your healing that leaves no trace of sickness).’”
Chapter 36: What the Prophet (saws) recited to seek refuge for others and what was recited (in that regard) for him - كتاب الطب
It was
narrated from ‘Aishah that one of the things that the Prophet
(ﷺ)
used to say for the sick person, with saliva on his finger
(dipped in
dust), was:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ مِمَّا يَقُولُ لِلْمَرِيضِ بِبُزَاقِهِ بِإِصْبَعِهِ
" بِسْمِ اللَّهِ بِتُرْبَةِ أَرْضِنَا بِرِيقَةِ بَعْضِنَا لِيُشْفَى سَقِيمُنَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّنَا " .
“Bismillah, turbatu ardina, biriqati ba’dina,
liyushfa
saqimuna. Bi’dhni Rabbina (In the Name of Allah, the dust of
our
land mixed with the saliva of one of us, to cure our sick one by
the
permission of our Lord).”
Chapter 36: What the Prophet (saws) recited to seek refuge for others and what was recited (in that regard) for him - كتاب الطب
It was
narrated that ‘Uthman bin Abul-‘As Thaqafi said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُصَيْفَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ الثَّقَفِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَبِي وَجَعٌ قَدْ كَادَ يُبْطِلُنِي فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" اجْعَلْ يَدَكَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ " . فَقُلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَشَفَانِيَ اللَّهُ .
“I came to
the
Prophet (ﷺ) and I was suffering pain that was killing me. The
Prophet (ﷺ) said to me: ‘Put your right hand on it and say:
Bismillah, a’udhu bi’izzatil-lahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma
ajidu wa
uhadhiru. (In the Name of Allah, I seek refuge in the might
and power
of Allah from the evil of what I feel and what I fear),”
seven times.’
I said that, and Allah healed me.”
