Hadith 37

y Ibn Masoud after that: ‘The one who knows it (cure), knows it, and the one who is ignorant of it, is ignorant of it’’. And it has been reported that it was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! What is your-saww view of Ruqya (chants and incantations)? Should we utilise it, and medicine we can cure with? Will it return anything from the Decrees of Allah-azwj? ’ He-saww said: ‘These are from the Pre-determinations of Allah-azwj the Exalted’’. The result is that obtaining the healing with the medication, rather it is like repelling the hunger by the eating, and the thirst by the drinking. It is most effective in that, and it could be delayed by an impediment, and Allah-azwj is more Knowing. And the exception of the death is clear in some of the Ahadeeth, and perhaps the Pre-determination except the illness of death, i. e. , the sickness which Allah-azwj has Pre-determined the death upon its companion. And the exception of the old age in another report, either it is made as a resemblance with the death, and the gathering between the two is deficiency of the health, or his nearness from the death, and he being led to it, and it is possible that the except could be terminated, and the pre-determined of the old age, there is no cure for it. Conclusion
One of the researchers said, ‘The doctor who is skilled in all things and especially the therapist with it, ‘The medicine is of two types. A type of physical medicine, and it is the intended over here, and medicine of the heart and its treatment specifically with what Rasool-Allah-saww had come with from his-saww Lord-azwj the Exalted. And as for the medicine of the body, from it is what has come in the transmitted from him-saww, and from it is what has come from others, and most of it is due to the experience. Then these are of two types – a type not needy to thinking and consideration, but Allah-azwj has Natured the animals upon it, like what repels the hunger and the thirst, and a type needy to thinking and the consideration, like repelling what newly occurs in the body, from what expels him from the moderation. And it is either heat or cold, and each of them is either wet or dry or what is composed of them, and the repellent may fall from outside the body, and it may fall from inside it, and it is the hardest of them. And the way to know it is by realising the cause and the symptoms, and the skilled doctor is the one who seeks to separate what is harmful to the body by adding it or its opposite, and to diminish what is harmful to the body by adding it or its opposite. And the rotation of that is based upon three things – protecting the health, and the protecting from the harmful, and freeing the stomach from the spoilage, and there is an indication to the three in the Quran. The first from Words of the Exalted in the Quran is: So the one from you who was sick, or upon a journey, so (he should Fast) from other days; [2: 184], and that is because the journey, the hostility is suspected, and it changes the health. So when the fasting occurs, it would increase. Thus, breaking (the fast) is legalised for the lasting (of health) upon the body, and like that is the word regarding the illness. And the second, and it is the protection, is from Words of the Exalted: and do not kill your selves [4: 29], and the permission of performing Tayammum during fear of utilising the cold water, has been extracted from it. And the third is from His-azwj Words: or with an ailment of his head, so an expiation [2: 196], and it is an indication with that to permission for shaving of the head which the one in Ihraam has been forbidden from, in order to be free from the harm resulting from the vapour congested in the head’.
