Sunan Abi Dawud 4207 (Book 35, Hadith 49) #24497
The True Physician

SUMMARY: The Prophet taught that only God is the true physician and healer of all ailments.

This version adds : My father said to him (the Prophet): Show me what is on your back, for I am a physician. He (the Prophet) said: You are only a soother. Its physician is He Who has created it.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبْجَرَ، عَنْ إِيَادِ بْنِ لَقِيطٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ، فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي أَرِنِي هَذَا الَّذِي بِظَهْرِكَ فَإِنِّي رَجُلٌ طَبِيبٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُ الطَّبِيبُ بَلْ أَنْتَ رَجُلٌ رَفِيقٌ طَبِيبُهَا الَّذِي خَلَقَهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet was asked by his father to show him what was on his back. His father was a physician and wanted to treat whatever ailment the Prophet may have had. However, the Prophet responded by saying that only God is the true physician and healer of all ailments. This teaches us that we should always turn to God for healing and not rely solely on human remedies or treatments. We should also remember that it is ultimately up to God whether we are healed or not; no matter how skilled a doctor may be in their field of medicine, they cannot guarantee a cure for any illness or disease without divine intervention.

This hadith also reminds us of our place in relation to God as our Creator; He alone has created us and knows best what will heal us from any ailment or suffering we may experience in life. We must therefore trust in Him and His wisdom when it comes to seeking healing for ourselves or others around us.
