Hadith 37

And from Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws, he-asws had allowed regarding the heat treatment (by fire) regarding what there is no aspect of the destruction (death) in it nor there being any grilling in it’’. [43]
Note: (The book) ‘Al-Aqaid’ of Al-Sadouq – He, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, said, ‘Our beliefs regarding the Ahadeeth referred regarding the medicine, these are upon aspects. From these is what is said upon the opinion of Makkah and Al Medina. It is not allowed to utilise it in rest of the opinions. And from these is what the scholar informed with based upon what he knew from the nature of the question, and he did not coincide in his description, when he was more knowing with his nature than he was. And from these is what the adversaries have falsified in the book in order to uglify the image of the doctrine in the presence of the people. And from these is what the mistake occurred in it’s transmission. And from these is what part of it was preserved and part was forgotten. And what is reported regarding the honey that it is a cure from every illness, it is correct, and it’s meaning is that it is a cure from every cold illness. And what is reported regarding the cleaning from defecation with the cold water for the one with haemorrhoids, so that would be when his haemorrhoids were from the heat. And what is regarding the aubergine from the cures, it is during the timing of the maturing of the dates for the one who eats the dates besides anything else from rest of the timings. The correct cures for the ailments from the Imams-asws, these are the supplications and Verses of the Quran and Chapters, in accordance with what the Ahadeeth have referred with by the strong chains and the correct ways. Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It was so in the past, the doctor (physician) was named as ‘the treater’. Musa-as Bin Imran-as said: ‘O Lord-azwj! Whom is the illness from? ’ He-azwj Said: “From Me-azwj! ” He-as said: ‘From whom is the cure? ’ He-azwj Said: “From Me-azwj! ” He-as said: ‘So what are the people doing with the treater? ’ He-azwj Said: “To make their selves feel good! ”
So, the doctor was names as ‘medicine man’ due to that, and the origin of the doctor is the medicine. And Dawood-as, weeds used to grow every day in his-as prayer niche. It said, ‘Take me, for I am correct for such and such’. He-saww saw at the end of his-as age, weeds growing in his-as prayer niche. He-as said to it: ‘What is your name? ’ It said, ‘I am the bean sprouts’. Dawood-as said: ‘The prayer niches was ruined, and nothing grew in it after that’. And the Prophet-saww said: ‘One whom (Surah) Al-Hamd does not cure, so there is no cure for him’’. And the Sheykh Al-Mufeed, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul, said in his commentary upon it, ‘The medicine is correct, and the knowledge with it is proven, and it’s path is the Revelation, and rather the scholars have taken with it from the Prophets-as, and that is because there is no path to know realities of the illness except by the hearing, nor is there any way to recognise the medicinal cure except by the inclination (from Allah-azwj). So it is proven that the path of that, it is the hearing from the scholar with the hidden matters of the Exalted and the Ahadeeth from the truthful (Imams-asws). (It is) interpreted by words of Amir Al-Momineen-asws: ‘The stomach is a house of illnesses, and the diet is the chief of the cures, and returning everybody to what is used to be’. The medicine may work in some of the people of the country from a disease that exposes them to what destroys those who use it for that disease from other than the people of that country, and it is suitable for a people with a habit that is not suitable for those who are different to them in the habits.
