Patience regarding seeking medical treatment when it is possible

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is patience regarding seeking medical treatment and cure, when it is possible, a praiseworthy act done for the sake of earning reward for the pain?

Answer:
No, it is not praiseworthy. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Seek medical treatment, but do not seek treatment with what is forbidden. Seek medical treatment, O servants of Allah.تداووا ولا تداووا بحرام، تداووا عباد الله،
and he said
Allah does not send down any disease, but He also sends down the cure for it.ما أنزل الله داء إلا أنزل له دواء
Sunan Ibn Majah 3438Sahih (Darussalam)
. Seeking medical treatment is permissible, and some scholars hold that it is recommended. Yes.
