Tibb an-Nabi

Medicine of the Prophet

Abu l-` Abbas b.Muhammad al-Mustaghfiri d.432 AH

T ranslators note: T he compiler of this collection was an Ashàri Hanafi and thus notShiì, so care ought to be taken in regards to its contents as to whether it agrees or notwith the hadiths in our books. However, this work has found widespread usageamongst the Shià, being used in our books (such as in Bihar), and is thus includedhere on the site. Àllama Majlisi wrote in regards to it:

) (

And the book T ibb an-Nabi , even though the majority of itreports are from the paths of the opponents ( turuq al-mukhalifeen ), however it isfamous (and) in circulation amongst our scholars."

In the translation, I have not included most of the occurrences of the expression " T heMessenger of Allah said" that occurs at the beginning of the

narrations.

By the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

. :

T his is the treatise that is called T ibb an-Nabi (Medicine of the Prophet) . AndI found it written with the isnads deleted:

: .

T he Messenger of Allah said: Allah has not created a malady,

who observe precaution).

: .

T he root of every malady is coldness (or, frigidity).

: .

E at when you crave (have an appetite) and stop while you are (still) craving (hungry).

: .

T he stomach is the house of every malady, and diet (i.e. a dietary regimen) is the headof every cure. So give yourself what you have accustomed it to.

: .

T he most beloved of food to Allah is that upon which the hands are plentiful (i.e.when many people gather together to partake of it).

: .

E ating with a single finger is the eating of Shaytan. E ating with two is the eating of theinsolent. And (eating) with three is the eating of the prophets.

: .

W hen the table is set, every one of you must eat what is before (lit. near/next to) him,not reaching over to the top of the food (i.e. not extending to take from the center/top),for verily the blessing comes to it (i.e. the food) due to the topmost of it. And none of you must rise nor lift his hand, even if he has had his fill, until the group has raised their hands; for verily that embarrasses his companion.

: .

T he blessing is in the middle of the food, so eat from its brim and do not eat from itsmiddle.

: .

T he food of the generous is a cure, and the food of the miserly is a malady.

: .

T he qas`a (a type of bowl) seeks forgiveness for the one who licks it.

997 al-Husayn b. al-Hasan b. Bandar al-Qummi said: Sahl b. Ziyad al-Adami narratedto us. He said: O ne of our companions wrote to Abu l-Hasan al-`Askari :May I be made your ransom, O my master, verily `Ali b. Haska is proclaiming that he isfrom your awliya, and that you are the Pre-eternal F irst, and that he is your bab andyour prophet that you commanded to call to that. And he claims that salat, and zakat,and hajj, and fasting, all of that is your recognition (ma`rifa ) and the recognition of whoever is in the like of the state of Ibn Haska in what he proclaims of bab-hood andprophethood, so (such a one would be) a perfect believer from whom is dropped thesubjugation to salat and fasting and hajj. And he mentioned all of the laws of thereligion, that the meaning of all of that is what is established for you. And the peoplehave inclined to him much. So if you regard to do so, grant your loyalists with ananswer in regards to that saving them from destruction.

So he wrote:Ibn Haska has lied, upon him be the curse of Allah. And it isenough for you that verily I do not recognize him to be amongst my loyalists. W hat is thematter with him, may Allah curse him, for Allah did not send Muhammad and theprophets prior to him except with the hanafiyya and salat and zakat and fasting and hajjand walaya. And Muhammad did not call but to Allah, bHimself, there is no partner for Him. And likewise we the awsiya from his sons are theslaves of Allah, we do not associate anything with Him. If we obey Him He has mercyon us and if we disobey Him He punishes us. W e do not have any argument upon Allah

rather the argument is for Allah upon us and upon all of His creation.I

am freeto Allah from whoever says that and I fear (?) to Allah from this doctrine. So expelthem, may Allah curse them, and compel them to narrowness (?) of the road. And youfind one of them alone, then smash his head with the rock.
