Sunan Ibn Majah 572 (Book 1, Hadith 306) #29924
Seeking Knowledge for Healing

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who was injured in the head and had a wet dream. He was told to take a bath, but he died after taking the bath. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that if only he had washed his body and left his head alone where the wound was, then he would have been cured.

It was narrated that 'Ata' bin Abu Rabah said: "I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying that a man was injured in the head at the time of the Messenger of Allah, then he had a wet dream. He was told to have a bath, so he took the bath, became rigid and stiff, and died. News of that reached the Messenger of Allah and he said: 'They have killed him, may Allah kill them! Is not the cure for a lack of knowledge to ask questions?'"'Ata' said: "We heard that the Messenger of Allah said: 'If only he had washed his body and left his head alone where the wound was'."
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعِشْرِينَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يُخْبِرُ أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَصَابَهُ جُرْحٌ فِي رَأْسِهِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ثُمَّ أَصَابَهُ احْتِلاَمٌ فَأُمِرَ بِالاِغْتِسَالِ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَكُزَّ فَمَاتَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ قَتَلُوهُ قَتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَفَلَمْ يَكُنْ شِفَاءَ الْعِيِّ السُّؤَالُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏"‏ لَوْ غَسَلَ جَسَدَهُ وَتَرَكَ رَأْسَهُ حَيْثُ أَصَابَهُ الْجِرَاحُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of an incident that happened during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). A man was injured in his head and then experienced a wet dream. He was told to take a bath as part of his cure but unfortunately this resulted in him becoming rigid and stiff before eventually dying. Upon hearing this news, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) expressed anger at those who advised him to take the bath as it ultimately led to his death. He further stated that if only he had washed his body while leaving the area around his wound untouched then it could have been cured instead of leading to death. This teaches us an important lesson about seeking knowledge before taking any action or making any decisions; we should always ask questions first so that we can be sure we are doing what is best for us or others involved in our decisions or actions.
