Allaahumma Y***ir Walaa Tua-ssir Wa-tammim Bil-Khayr

This kitaab (book) is a collection of Hadith of Nabi (S.A.W.) wherein he prescribed medical cures for the body from the Qur'an and through Wahi (Revelation). This book is known as Thibinabiwi (cures prescribed by the Nabi (S.A.W.), and is a collection of cures recommended by the Nabi (S.A.W.) to the Sahabas (R.A.) for various illnesses. It is, the original version and is completely authentic.

All praise is due to ALLAH who provides us with food and drink and cures us when we fall ill. When He causes us to die He will resurrect us.

Peace and blessings on the Chosen One. Nabi Muhammad (S.A.W.) and His Family and His Companions.

Introduction

Man was created by ALLAH in order to worship Him for this, man requires a healthy body, so we must take care of our health. Good health is dependent on two things: (a) Du'aah; (b) medicines (dawa).

These require that certain habits or activities are either practised or left alone.

Many people believe that illnesses can only be cured by the use of medicines. To those who think in this way we would ask the following questions: "Do you believe that words have no effect on a person? If so, why do some people become angry if someone swears at them? Conversely, why do they feel pleasure when praised by someone else? If you accept both these things, you are admitting that words do have an influence on people."

Man has been created with a body and soul and our Nabi (S.A.W.) was sent as a mercy unto mankind. As ALLAH taught our Nabi (S.A.W.) cure for the Ruh (soul) of man so also did ALLAH reveal to the Nabi (S.A.W.) the treatment of the body, when it is sick. Thus ensuring that our Nabi (S.A.W.) is a mercy unto man in every field.

This book is remarkable because it reveals that the cures prescribed by the Nabi (S.A.W.) contain the basic secret of medical science, that is they are both remedial and preventative (also prevents from becoming sick).

We must remember also that these cures of the Nabi (S.A.W.) are ***ociated with the Wahi (Revelation), thus they are from ALLAH, whereas modern medicines are based on trial and error. Therefore, the stronger our Yaqeen and Imaan (faith), the sooner we can be cured by these prescriptions. If we are to use our sense of reasoning then we will fail.

Usamah Bin Shareek (R.A.) reports hearing some Sahaba asking the Nabi (S.A.W.): "O Messenger of ALLAH! Is it not a sin for us to seek treatment for our illnesses in medicines?" The Nabi (S.A.W.) replied: "Seek your treatment by all means in medicines, O people of ALLAH! For with every sickness which ALLAH has created, he (ALLAH) has also produced its cure except for the sickness of death." (Hadith)

Summary

Thus cures rest on four (4) things:

(1) medicines; (2) dua (invo***ion); (3) by practising certain things; (4) by leaving out certain things.

Remember that these cures have all been prescribed by our Nabi (S.A.W.) and must be respected as such.
