Holy Quran 17:82
وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۙ وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا
And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.
"The halal {permitted} is clear and the haram {prohibited} is clear, and between them are matters unclear that are unknown to most people. Whoever is cautionary of these unclear matters has adhered to his religion and honor. And whoever indulges in them has indulged in the haram {forbidden}. It is like a shepherd who herds his sheep too close to preserved sanctuary, they will eventually graze in it. Every king has a sanctuary, and the sanctuary of Allah is what He has made haram {Forbidden}. There lies within the body a piece of flesh. If it is sound, the whole body is sound; and if it is corrupted, the whole body is corrupted. Verily this piece is the heart."
Medicine in Islam is viewed from a different perspective...rather than being that which is administered for sickness, pain, prevention, or disease; medicine in Islam is secondary to the condition of the heart...This view point is taken from two considerations as the source of all sickness & disease.
- Doubts and Errors
- Desires and Lust
The profound wisdom that deduces such a broad scope of illnesses down to just two categories is amazing...But if we contemplate this deeply, its easy to see how these two categories are the source of all human sickness. For example:
- From the category of desires & lust, its easy to see that many of our desires or lust can lead one to sickness & disease...over eating, illegal sexual intercourse, smoking, drinking, etc. are all conditions of desires or lust and all can very easily promote illness & physical disease.
- From the category of doubts; this area is more so directly related with intangible principles. Since Allah has created all things on the fitrah of natural disposition (all things in creations follow the purpose of their design limited to the laws of physics that determine the exist of the Universe); it is only man & Jinn {race of satan} who are equipped to chose i.e. adhere to our purpose of creation and or disobey. Disobedience creates disharmony from a severed link with the creator which changes the natural energy of a human-being {heart & Soul} thus making us more vulnerable, and susceptible to disease.
Let me try explaining through some verses of the Quran...
Holy Quran 6:115
وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلًا ۚ لَّا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can alter His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
Holy Quran 6:116
وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah. They follow not except assumption, and they are not but falsifying.
Holy Quran 6:117
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مَن يَضِلُّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ
Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
Holy Quran 6:115
وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلًا ۚ لَّا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can alter His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
Holy Quran 6:116
وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah. They follow not except assumption, and they are not but falsifying.
Holy Quran 6:117
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مَن يَضِلُّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ
Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
Holy Quran 6:118
فَكُلُوا۟ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُم بِـَٔايَٰتِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ
So eat of that [meat] upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned, if you are believers in His verses.
Holy Quran 6:119
وَمَا لَكُمْ أَلَّا تَأْكُلُوا۟ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَا ٱضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا لَّيُضِلُّونَ بِأَهْوَآئِهِم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ
And why should you not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled {eating in times to stay alive}. And indeed do many lead [others] astray through their [own] inclinations without knowledge. Indeed, your Lord - He is most knowing of the transgressors.
Holy Quran 6:120
وَذَرُوا۟ ظَٰهِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَبَاطِنَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْسِبُونَ ٱلْإِثْمَ سَيُجْزَوْنَ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَقْتَرِفُونَ
And leave what is apparent of sin and what is concealed thereof. Indeed, those who earn [blame for] sin will be recompensed for that which they used to commit.
Holy Quran 6:121
وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا۟ مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِسْقٌ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَىٰٓ أَوْلِيَآئِهِمْ لِيُجَٰدِلُوكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَمُشْرِكُونَ
And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned, for indeed, it is grave disobedience. And indeed do the devils inspire their allies [among men] to dispute with you. And if you were to obey them, indeed, you would be associators [of others with Allah].
Holy Quran 6:122
أَوَمَن كَانَ مَيْتًا فَأَحْيَيْنَٰهُ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُۥ نُورًا يَمْشِى بِهِۦ فِى ٱلنَّاسِ كَمَن مَّثَلُهُۥ فِى ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ لَيْسَ بِخَارِجٍ مِّنْهَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
And is one who was dead and We gave him life and made for him light {faith} by which to walk among the people like one who is in darkness {doubts or disbelieves}, never to emerge therefrom? Thus it has been made pleasing to the disbelievers that which they were doing.
Holy Quran 24:35
۞ ٱللَّهُ نُورُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِۦ كَمِشْكَوٰةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ ۖ ٱلْمِصْبَاحُ فِى زُجَاجَةٍ ۖ ٱلزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّىٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِىٓءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ ۚ نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ ۗ يَهْدِى ٱللَّهُ لِنُورِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَيَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَٰلَ لِلنَّاسِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche [in the likeness of the rib cage] within which is [in] a lamp [the heart], the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white][clean heart] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree [revelation], neither of the east nor of the west [holy land], whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light [light allah and his revelation upon the light of the heart]. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.
Abu Huraira {r.a} reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, when the servant commits a sin a black spot appears upon his heart. If he abandons the sin, seeks forgiveness, and repents, then his heart will be polished. If he returns to the sin, the blackness will be increased until it overcomes his heart. It is the covering that Allah has mentioned: No, but on their hearts is a covering because of what they have earned.” (83:14)
Holy Quran 83:13
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
Holy Quran 83:14
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.

Understanding these two conditions allows us to readily categorize the many mechanisms that are tailored made to affect people today, thus we can prescribe the right solutions and apply the right cures. We Human-Beings are created weak and that weakness induces the haste within us all...This life is a test for humanity upon the oaths we have all taken in covenant with our lord, thus we have to transcend the weakness to regain the paradise we were created to dwell in. However; Allah in his justice & mercy has equipped humanity with guidance that if followed allows us the ease of living in the world and the prize of paradise.
I find it ironic that many peoples who are educated in the fields of psychology ignore the issue of religiousity. For example the video to the left...The speaker in describing his own methods of “progressive extremism” in eliminating bad habits speaks in comparison to the failures of human will-power to that of the innate successes of Human identity. |
By looking at the Orthodox Jew or the devote Muslim, he draws a clear example of how the mental debate of human will-power never takes place in the minds of those whose personal identities deter the practices of many bad habits or actions. Unfortunately, that is as far as his analysis goes failing to see that the convictions that come with faith allow someone to remain upon their fixed identity I.e. Muslim or the likes...Without convictions and obedience to those convictions this person too would be weakened to human internal debate with themselves thus regressing back to human will-power to refrain from bad habits or actions. Therefore, what makes a Muslim devote giving them immunity to the culture of the surrounding area, is the same ingredient that enables someone to remain on their identity not inhibiting themselves by any internal debates that eventually weaken a person.
In other words, without any personal attacks intended on anyone, but for the sake of making a point; At the very best you will only find within these people is motivational speeches & philosophies that only sound good from one angle, while leaving it upon the individual to visualize themselves upon an identity they like, which without faith just leaves their self-depictions as the hollow material shell of the human being. This outer shell only comes alive and gains immunity to the desires/doubts that lead it astray by feeding the soul [the light of the body]. The soul is the [Light] life force that gives the human-being temperature [heat], the light behind the eyes, and radiant ora of the skin, heart beat and electrical pulse by which the body converts foods/drinks from chemical to electrical energy giving it [the body] thought & movement. Therefore, the soul is most important in deterring ailments of the body, which first affect the soul [the conditions of disbelief/doubts], which then ails the physical body ie organs...

Therefore, the soul is most important in deterring ailments of the body, which first affect the soul [the conditions of disbelief/doubts], which then ails the physical body ie organs...
Thus All foods and drinks that go into the body are then converted and identified by our bodies in terms of how our receptors operate:
Imam Ahmad >>>>>Prophet s.a.w said, “The son of Adam never fills a vessel worse than his stomach. The son of Adam only needs a few bites that would sustain him, but if he insist...1/3 food, 1/3 drink, 1/3 air for breathing. |
Basically what this means in regards to the physical...”We are or Become what We Eat”... Therefore its paramount that we protect what goes in the mouth for nourishment of our bodies. Human-Beings are dual natured {Physical & Spiritual} and both sides of a existence have to be treated in a manner that enables the best of life, therefor neither factor within the equation can be left at “zero”, otherwise the resulting answer {results} will also be “zero”
The physical body is made of the elements of the earth, so our foods [plants, fruits and animals who also eat from the earth] deriving from the earth help to replenish these vital minerals within our bodies...Unfortunately, nothing in the earth is designed to give conclusive satisfaction used for energy renewal alone and only satiate for a time our desires of necessity i.e. hunger & thirst. On the other hand, the food of the soul is much more satisfying and in addition, when strengthened, allows the denial of urges from the physical body making it a much more powerful source that shouldn’t be ignored. Yet, they {motivational speakers} ignore or leave off applying the religious aspect on themselves let alone prescribing it to others. We can see very easily why human limitations end in error, while divine guidance promotes the fullness of life as well as the optimization of human-health. After all, the creator knows best his creation so why should he not be consulted or obeyed when it comes to ourselves? Faith {truth/certainty} & human health is the seat of tranquility in this life.

The Science of Islamic Medicine is divide into three:
Preserving good health by adhering to the Halal {permissible}, Avoiding what may cause harm by staying away from the Haram {forbidden and following prophetic tradition that train one in healthily practices that help avoid harm}, and Ridding the body of harmful substances by following prophetic traditions i.e eating & drinking habits/excercise/prayer/ and fasting...
Ten things cause the body harm when congested:
- Preserving good Heath
- Avoiding what may cause Harm
- Ridding the Body of harmful substances
Preserving good health by adhering to the Halal {permissible}, Avoiding what may cause harm by staying away from the Haram {forbidden and following prophetic tradition that train one in healthily practices that help avoid harm}, and Ridding the body of harmful substances by following prophetic traditions i.e eating & drinking habits/excercise/prayer/ and fasting...
Ten things cause the body harm when congested:
- Blood when it is irritated
- Sperm when it is excessive
- Urine
- Ecrement or Stool
- Air
- Vomit
- Need to Sneeze
- Sleep
- Hunger
- Thirst.
When any of these Ten are not relieved or satisfied, they cause particular types of illnesses.
- Blood when Irritated can be remedied with Hijamah {Cupping} which cleanses the Blood...
- Sperm when it is excessive is remedied by marriage, or fasting or usually as a bodily function “wet dream” help to reduce the sperm count.
- Urine is remedied by relieving oneself or can be induced by drinking honey...also cleansing oneself with water is also necessary after urination.
- Excrement or stool is also remedied by drinking honey; cleansing with water afterwards.
- Air...{1/3 of stomach for breathing} This can be remedied by passing gas, relieving oneself, but avoided altogether by eating slower and swallowing what in the mouth before taking more; in regards to drinking its best to sit while drinking, and not breathe into vessel while drinking, but rather drink and swallow.
- Vomit can be remedied by drinking warm water with honey, and avoided altogether by watching ones diet, amount of food & drink & by avoiding forbidden things.
- Need to sneeze can be remedied by wudu, and cleaning with water the nasal passage also known as “kneaty pot” to non-Muslim’s. This will induce sneezing.
- Sleep is remedied with sleep; However energy levels can be increased with better diet, avoid over eating, night time prayers “tahajjud” and Praying salatul fajr {predawn prayer on a regular basis}.
- Hunger is remedied by eating good foods that give maximum nutrition and can be further managed with fasting {1/3 of the stomach for food}
- Thrist also can be remedied by avoiding sugary drinks and drinking water & freshly squeezed juices that have natural juice and further managed with fasting {1/3 of stomach for drink}
THoly Quran 13:11
لَهُۥ مُعَقِّبَٰتٌ مِّنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦ يَحْفَظُونَهُۥ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا۟ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ ۗ وَإِذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوٓءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَالٍ For each one {humanity} are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah. Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it {cure is always part of the decree of Allah}. And there is not for them besides Him any patron. Holy Quran 4:119 وَلَأُضِلَّنَّهُمْ وَلَأُمَنِّيَنَّهُمْ وَلَءَامُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ ءَاذَانَ ٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ وَلَءَامُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّخِذِ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ وَلِيًّا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَقَدْ خَسِرَ خُسْرَانًا مُّبِينًا And I will mislead them, and I will arouse in them [sinful] desires, and I will command them so they will slit the ears of cattle, and I will command them so they will change the creation of Allah [which removes the blessing in that which is changed causing harm]." And whoever takes Satan as an ally instead of Allah has certainly sustained a clear loss. Holy Quran 2:10 فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مَرَضًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْذِبُونَ In their hearts is disease, so Allah has increased their disease; and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie. Holy Quran 74:31 وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَٰنًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels [who carry out the commands of their lord]. And We have not made their number [amount of angels] except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and for those who say those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity. |
The heart becomes well when it acquires knowledge of its Lord/Creator. In addition, its more so well as it acquires Allah’s pleasure preferring what he likes and avoiding prohibitions and what leads to his displeasure. There’s no life of contentment, health, or well-being for the heart except by this method, which only the prophets {peace on all them} can teach to humanity.
Thus errors, are acquired by strengthening the lower animalistic desires, which makes the heart far from contentment or well-being endangering its very existence altogether. Therein lies the fork in categories: Desires/lust or Doubts/Disbelief that distinguishes between the two paths. Two Causes:
Ailments of temperament occurs after physical ailments have receded, and their effects remain altering the mood and behaviour of a human-being...
Thus we look at physical disease 1st, then Ailment 2nd, and to cure 3rd. Organs >>>> Alternation In >>>>> Shape, Cavity, Vessel, Roughness, Touch, Number, Bone, and so forth...
Negative affects on Mood or Temperament:
The Body States: Normal. >>>>. Healthy Abnormal >>>>>>. Sickness In Between. >>>>>>. State of body passing from one extreme to the other |
Medical authorities agree that whenever an illness can be fought with nourishment or diet, medicine should be avoided. In addition, when a single ingredient can be used as a remedy, then compound ingredients should also be avoided. Because the remedy might not find illness to cure or might find an illness it cannot cure or might be suitable but an excess dose may compromise the health of the body...Thus, cultures who consume few types of foods in regular diet, generally suffer fewer illnesses. Those who live in cities whose diets are more complex, generally need more compound ingredients that will attack the variety of substances in the body.
Prophetic Medicine has a divine element. Prophets deliver remedies that cure the heart from whatever attacks it. Whenever the heart is strengthened to work in unison with the soul, illnesses are defeated.
In Sahih Muslim: The prophet s.a.w said, “every illness has a cure, and when the right cure is applied to the disease, it ends Allah willing.”
Holy Quran 51:49
وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.
~From this verse we can understand that the cure is the opposite of its created mate~

In Sahih Muslim: The prophet s.a.w said, “every illness has a cure, and when the right cure is applied to the disease, it ends Allah willing.”
- Allah has not sent down or created any illness without also sending down its cure.
- Allah has not created any disease without also creating its cure, except the illness of “Old Age.”
Holy Quran 51:49
وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.
~From this verse we can understand that the cure is the opposite of its created mate~
Thus, applying medicine in its correct dosage, and opposite to its created pair is most affective has a cure. However, one should remember that Healing or NO Healing is also part of Allah’s Qadr {divine decree}, and so even though a cure may be applied, it must be understood that if any illness that strikes any of us, if that illness has been written for us to be the cause of punishment for things we have done, or be the cause of our deaths...Nothing applied as a cure will supersede Allah’s will.
Whenever the resolve of a ailing person is strengthened the various powers that exist in the body {deriving from the soul} the overall psyche will be strengthened which then strengthened the body affected by disease making it more easily dissipated and defeated. |
|
Physical Ailments
- Attack & harm the body and alter its function, because of an excessive amount of substance.
- This constitutes the majority of diseases.
- By consuming more than the body needs
- substances that bring very little or no benefit and or hard to digest.
Fever
Prophet s.a.w said, “Verily fever or severe fever is a breathe of the hell fire.”
Fever emanates from affected organs and spreads through soul and the body with the heart through the blood effecting normal bodily function.
Abu Hurayrah r.a. said, “No Ailment enters the body more beloved to me than fever, because it enters every organ in the body and allah gives each organ its due share of the reward {from the fever}.
~Fever should be monitored, and if excessive or enduring long-term, then proper medicine should be taken to lower the fever~

Abu Sa’id Al Khudri r.a said, “a Man came to the prophet complaining about stomach or diarrhea.” The Prophet s.a.w said, “give him honey.” The man went and came back saying this remedy didn’t work. The prophet s.a.w said, “two or three more times, give your brother honey” as the man each time went and returned to tell the prophet s.a.w... The last time the man came back, the prophet s.a.w said, “Allah has spoken the truth and your brother’s stomach has lied.”
The wisdom behind the hadith of the prophet s.a.w is related to the dosage. The reason the man kept returning to tell the prophet s.a.w that his remedy of honey wasn’t working, was due to the dosage, which is why he was told to return and administer more honey. In order for healing to take place, the dosage has to be sufficient enough |
Honey
Holy Quran 16:68
وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى ٱلنَّحْلِ أَنِ ٱتَّخِذِى مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ

Holy Quran 16:69
ثُمَّ كُلِى مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ فَٱسْلُكِى سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا ۚ يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٰنُهُۥ فِيهِ شِفَآءٌ لِّلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.
