«… لَهُ ". فَخِفْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْعَلَمُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا مِيثَرَةُ الأُرْجُوَانِ فَهَذِهِ مِيثَرَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا هِيَ أُرْجُوَانٌ. فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَسْمَاءَ فَخَبَّرْتُهَا فَقَالَتْ هَذِهِ جُبَّةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ. فَأَخْرَجَتْ إِلَىَّ جُبَّةَ طَيَالَسَةٍ كِسْرَوَانِيَّةً لَهَا لِبْنَةُ دِيبَاجٍ وَفَرْجَيْهَا مَكْفُوفَيْنِ بِالدِّيبَاجِ فَقَالَتْ هَذِهِ كَانَتْ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ حَتَّى قُبِضَتْ فَلَمَّا قُبِضَتْ قَبَضْتُهَا وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَلْبَسُهَا فَنَحْنُ نَغْسِلُهَا لِلْمَرْضَى يُسْتَشْفَى بِهَا.»

Prophetic medicine (al-tibb al-nabawi)

Prophetic medicine is what the reports preserve of the Prophet's guidance in treating the body, as Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya presents it in Zad al-Ma'ad. Ibn al-Qayyim sorts the Prophet's treatment into three kinds: by natural drugs, by divine remedies, and by a combination of the two. The chapter rests for him on the reports that every disease has a remedy, among them 'every disease has a remedy' in Muslim and 'God sent down no disease without sending down a cure for it' in al-Bukhari; he holds that seeking treatment does not conflict with trust in God.
