The ruling on describing a medicine as overpowering the disease

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh says: There is a phrase used when describing a medicine, where they say that it is a conqueror of the disease. This phrase and this statement

Answer:
This is an exaggeration and an overstatement. No one conquers the disease except Allah, but the medicine is a cause for the cure. If Allah wills, it will benefit, and if He wills, it will not benefit.
