حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ الْوَفْدِ الَّذِينَ قُدِمُوا عَلَی أَبِي قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّمَا طَبِيبٍ تَطَبَّبَ عَلَی قَوْمٍ لَا يُعْرَفُ لَهُ تَطَبُّبٌ قَبْلَ ذَلِکَ فَأَعْنَتَ فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِالنَّعْتِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ قَطْعُ الْعُرُوقِ وَالْبَطُّ وَالْکَيُّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4587
Narrated Abdul Aziz ibn Umar ibn Abdul Aziz: Some people of the deputation which came to my father reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Any physician who practises medicine when he was not known as a practitioner before that and he harms (the patients) he will be held responsible. Abdul Aziz said: Here physician does not refer to a man by qualification. it means opening a vein, incision and cauterisation.
