حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَكْوِي غُلَامًا قَالَ قُلْتُ تَكْوِيهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ دَوَاءُ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ مَعَهُ دَوَاءً جَهِلَهُ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ جَهِلَهُ وَعَلِمَهُ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ عَلِمَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4267
'Ata' bin as-Sa'ib said: I came to Abu ' Abdur-Rahman when he was cauterizing a boy and I said: Are you cauterizing him? He said: Yes, it is the medicine of the Arabs. 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood said: Tire Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, did not send down any disease but He sent with it a remedy. Those of you who do not know it do not know it, and those of you who do know it know it."
