Subject: Friday Nasiha: *Sickness* According to Qur'an and Sunnah [1 Attachment]
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuh!
SicknessAccording to Qur'an and Sunnah
Ever wonder why a Muslim is allowed
by Allah, Subhanuhu wa-Taala, to get sick?
Hadith - Bukhari 7:564
I visited Allah's Apostle (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) while he was suffering from a high fever. I touched him with my hand and said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have a high fever." Allah's Apostle (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Yes, I have as much fever as two men of you have." I said, "Is it because you will get a double reward?" Allah's Apostle (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Yes, no Muslim is afflicted with harm because of sickness or some other inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his sins for him as a tree sheds its leaves."
Hadith - Muslim & Bukhari
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri r.a. reported that the Prophet (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: Whenever a Muslim is afflicted with a hardship, sickness, sadness, worry, harm, or depression --even a thorn's prick, Allah expiates his sins because of it.
Recorded by Bukhari in al-Adab ul-Mufrad (no. 493), verified authentic by al-Albani"Expect good, because Allah (s.w.t.) makes a believer's sickness an expiation (for his sins) and a period of repose. As for a disbeliever falling sick, he is like a camel whose owner ties it and then lets it loose --it does not understand why it was tied, nor why it was freed."
The cure...
Allah's Messenger (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: There is a remedy for every malady, and when the remedy is applied to the disease it is cured with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.
Hadith - Muwatta 50:12
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that a man received a wound in the time of the Messenger of Allah (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam). 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 (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said to them, "Which of you is the better doctor?" They said, "Is there any good in medicine, Messenger of Allah?" Zayd claimed that the Messenger of Allah (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, "The one who sent down the disease sent down the remedy."
Narration - Ahmad"Worshippers of Allah, use medical treatments."
Allah's Messenger (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Fatihat al-Kitab contains healing for every disease."[Darimi and Bayhaqi, in Shu'ab al-Iman, transmitted it.]
Severe Trials for those Firm in their Religion
When the Prophet (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) was asked which people suffered the greatest affliction, he replied, "The prophets, then those who come next to them, then those who come next to them. A man is afflicted in keeping his religion. If he is firm in his religion his trial is severe, but if there is weakness in his religion it is made light for him, and it continues like that till he walks on the earth having no sin."[Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Darimi transmitted it, and Tirmidhi said this is a hasan sahih tradition.]
Rewards for those Afflicted
Allah's Messenger (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, "On the Day of Resurrection, when people who have suffered affliction are given their reward, those who are healthy will wish their skins had been cut to pieces with scissors when they were in the world."[Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying that this is a gharib tradition.]
The ailment is intensified for the righteous. Whenever a believer is afflicted with a hardship, be it a thorn or more, a sin is taken off him because of it, and he is elevated on level (in Jannah [Paradise]).
Hadith - Al-BukhariA traveller's or sick person's deeds are recorded in accordance with what he used to do when he was resident or well.
Endurance
The Prophet (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) stated that
Allah, The Blessed and Exalted, says,
"Son of Adam, if you show endurance and seek your reward from me in the first affliction, I shall be pleased with no lesser reward than Paradise for you."
Hadith - Sahih Bukhari, Muslim, and Nasa'i, Narrated 'A'ishah
The Prophet of Allah, upon him be peace, said, "Do not say, 'I feel rotten*.' Instead, say, 'I do not feel well."*or any expression that involves corruption of any type.
Kindness to the sick
Allah's Messenger (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said,
"When you go in to visit an invalid, express a hope that he will live long. That will not avert anything, but it will comfort him."
Allah's Apostle (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, "You see the believers as regards their being merciful among themselves and showing love among themselves and being kind, resembling one body, so that, if any part of the body is not well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever with it."Visit the sick
Hadith - Qudsi 18
O son of Adam, I fell ill and you visited Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My servant So-and-so had fallen ill and you visited him not? Did you not know that had you visited him you would have found Me with him? O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you fed Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My servant So-and-so asked you for food and you fed him not? Did you not know that had you fed him you would surely have found that (the reward for doing so) with Me? O son of Adam, I asked you to give Me to drink and you gave Me not to drink. He will say: O Lord, how should I give You to drink whin You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: My servant So-and-so asked you to give him to drink and you gave him not to drink. Had you given him to drink you would have surely found that with Me.
Supplication of an Invalid
Allah's Messenger (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, "When you visit an invalid tell him to make supplication for you, for his supplication is like that of the angels."[Ibn Majah transmitted it.]Taking Medicine
The Prophet (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: Every disease has a medication: If the medication for a particular disease is found, it will be cured with Allah's (swt) permission.
Hadith - Bukhari 7:610, Ibn 'Abbas and 'Aisha, Radiya 'Llahu 'anhuma
Abu Bakr kissed (the forehead of) the Prophet (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) when he was dead. 'Aisha (radiallahu anha) added: We put medicine in one side of his mouth but he started waving us not to insert the medicine into his mouth. We said, "He dislikes the medicine as a patient usually does." But when he came to his senses he said, "Did I not forbid you to put medicine (by force) in the side of my mouth?" We said, "We thought it was just because a patient usually dislikes medicine." He (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, "None of those who are in the house but will be forced to take medicine in the side of his mouth while I am watching, except Al-'Abbas, for he had not witnessed your deed."Read Qur'an when Sick
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Isra 17:82
And We send down from the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism and act on it), and it increases the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) nothing but loss.Ruqyah
Ruqyah (plural: ruqa) is du'a or dhikr used for protection or cure.
'Awf Bin Malik al-Ashjai said to the Prophet (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam), "O Allah's Messenger! We used to apply ruqa during Jahliyyah. What do you think of that?" He (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) replied: "Present your ruqa to me. There is nothing wrong with them as long as they do not involve shirk."
Hadith - Muslim and others
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri r.a. reported that Jibril (alaihisslam) came to the Prophet (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) and said, "O Muhammad (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam), are you sick?" He (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) replied, "Yes."
He said: "Bismillahi arqik, min kulli shay'in yu'thik, min sharri kulli nafsin aw 'ayni hasid -- With Allah's Name I shelter you (give you ruqyah), from all that ails you, from the evil of every soul, or that of the envious eyes. May Allah cure you; with Allah's Name I shelter you."
******************************************************************
Action Items for the Muttaqun:
Study tawheed as it relates to illnesses Give all acknowledgement to Allah, Subhanuhu waTala, for healing and ailments. Do not jump to the conclusion that all sicknesses are punishments from Allah, Subhanuhu waTala. A woman may be treated by a male physician (including treatment or examination of private parts, etc.) only if a female physician cannot be obtained through all means possible, and it is recommended that a mahram male or trustworthy Muslim female be present to prevent the occurrence of khulwah. Males should avoid treatment by non-mahram female doctors or nurses, except when male doctors or nurses are not available. Do not look down on a person who is sick, merely because of the sickness. Performing ruqyah is permissible so long that it does not contain shirk or anything else haram. But do not seek ruqyah, because that can prevent you from being among the seventy thousand who immediately enter Paradise. You may, however, volunteer on your own and perform ruqyah over an individual if s/he has not requested it and still be eligible to be among the seventy thousand who immediately enter Paradise... Allah knows best. Count your blessings while you are sick, using the opportunity to seek forgiveness of sins and remaining patient during the affliction.~~~~~ Share this POST with maximum number of people you can.
