Does the statement of Allah, "So they have no power to remove harm from you or to shift it," serve as evidence that illness transfers from one person to another?

Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Can it be inferred from the statement of Allah the Exalted[Al-Isra 17:56] that illness transfers from one person to another?
Answer:
By the command of Allah, yes, illness transfers by the command of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. I mean, do you mean contagion? Contagion occurs by the command of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, not by its nature or in itself. Rather, it is Allah who manages it, who transfers it, who removes it, and who sends it down. Yes.
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Can it be inferred from the statement of Allah the Exalted
for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else]."
