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.
