Continuation of the explanation of the hadith: ( ... He said: Yes, O servants of Allah, seek medical treatment, for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has not placed a disease without placing a cure for it ... )

The Shaykh : He said (peace be upon him): . Is this report from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? Because Allah has not sent down a disease without sending down a cure for it, encompassing all diseases, so that no disease remains that cannot be cured? The Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Except for one thing, which is old age, which is usually accompanied by death. So there is no cure for that. That is, as Ibn al-Wardi or others said:
"Death is decreed upon creation, so how many *** groups have been broken and how many dynasties have been destroyed"
So death is decreed upon every living being, and no living being remains in this universe except the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting (Glorified and Exalted is He); therefore, in his saying: , he (peace be upon him) excepted old age because it is a harbinger and companion of death. No person grows old without death following him, and there is no escape from that. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . They said: What is it, O Messenger of Allah? He said: . He mentioned old age, and the lam in it means: death, because death, as we said, comes after old age necessarily. But death may come to a young man, and death may come to a small child. But when a person grows old, there is no escape, for he prepares for the near death. Therefore, death was explicitly mentioned in some authentic hadiths, such as his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . Here he explicitly stated what he did not say as old age; he said: ; because the old age intended here is the actual old age that is a harbinger of death.
