7) Wiping the face dry:
It is related on the authority of Mu‘az ibn Jabal (ra) that:
“I saw that when the Messenger of Allah (saas) performed
wudu’, he wiped his face with a corner of his robe.” (al-
Tirmidhi)
When a person was sick, the Messenger of Allah (saas) gave
precedence to doctors. He said that, even though he was
knowledgeable about the matter, it was always advisable to
see a doctor first.
A man was wounded in the time of the Messenger of Allah
(saas). The blood clotted in the wound, and the man
called two men from the Banu Ammar tribe. They looked
at it and claimed that the Messenger of Allah (saas) asked
them: “Which of you is the better doctor?” They asked: “Is
there any good in medicine, O Messenger of Allah?” Zayd
claimed that the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: “The
One Who sent down the disease sent down the remedy.”
(Malik, al-Muwatta’, Book 50, Number 50.5.12)
The Prophet (saas) said that there is a cure for each disease
and therefore advised Muslims to seek adequate treatment:
“Allah has sent down both the disease and the cure, and
He has appointed a cure for every disease. So treat your-
selves medically, but do not use anything that has been
prohibited.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 28, Number 3865)
“Allah has not made a disease without appointing a rem-
edy for it, with the exception of one disease, namely, old
age.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 28, Number 3846)
“There is no disease that Allah has created, except that
He also has created its treatment.” (Sahih al-Bukhari,
Volume 7, Book 71, Number 582)
