حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ النَّمَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ شَرِيکٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابَهُ کَأَنَّمَا عَلَی رُئُوسِهِمْ الطَّيْرُ فَسَلَّمْتُ ثُمَّ قَعَدْتُ فَجَائَ الْأَعْرَابُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا وَهَا هُنَا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَتَدَاوَی فَقَالَ تَدَاوَوْا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يَضَعْ دَائً إِلَّا وَضَعَ لَهُ دَوَائً غَيْرَ دَائٍ وَاحِدٍ الْهَرَمُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3855
Narrated Usamah ibn Sharik: I came to the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions were sitting as if they had birds on their heads. I saluted and sat down. The desert Arabs then came from here and there. They asked: Messenger of Allah, should we make use of medical treatment? He replied: Make use of medical treatment, for Allah has not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it, with the exception of one disease, namely old age.
