Combining the healing of the leper with the hadith that Allah did not send down a disease

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Healing the leper is among the special attributes of 'Isa (peace be upon him). How do we reconcile this with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
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)
His knowledge is from His knowledge, and his ignorance is from His ignorance?

The Shaykh:
This is a specification of
Allah does not send down any disease, but He also sends down the cure.ما أنزل الله داء إلا أنزل له شفاء
Sunan Ibn Majah 3439Sahih (Darussalam)
except for leprosy; leprosy has no cure. Its treatment is among the miracles of al-Masih (peace be upon him), who heals the blind and the lepers. The blind are those who have no sight from birth. When he touches them, they gain sight. Likewise, leprosy has no cure, but when al-Masih (peace be upon him) touches a leper, he is healed of it. He also brings the dead to life; al-Masih (peace be upon him) brings the dead to life and speaks to the dead. This is among his miracles (peace and blessings be upon him). As for
Allah does not send down any disease, but He also sends down the cure.ما أنزل الله داء إلا أنزل له شفاء
Sunan Ibn Majah 3439Sahih (Darussalam)
, meaning other than leprosy,

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
you say that the cure was not given to 'Isa by Allah; rather, Allah sent down a cure for it, which is what Allah gave to 'Isa (peace be upon him). And no one but 'Isa can do this, because it is a miracle.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
