Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

Arrangement for remedy and precaution

Hadrat Usamah bin Shank (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated when ALLAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) was asked whether they should make use of medical treatment he replied, “Yes, servants of ALLAH (Subhanahu Wata’ala), make use of medical treatment, for ALLAH (Subhanahu Wata’ala) has not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it, with the exception of one disease, viz., old age.” [Tirmizi, Mishkat]

The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to enjoin people to get treatment from qualified and experienced medical practitioners and adopt preventive steps. [Zadul Ma’ad]

He used to ask quacks not to practice medicine and made him responsible for any damage to the patient. [Zadul Ma’ad]

He used to forbid people to use unlawful things as medicine. He said: “ALLAH, the Almighty has not given healing character to unlawful things. [Zadul Ma’ad]
