Discussing the issue of laryngitis between Arab medicine and non-Arab medicine - The Hadith - .
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... Two of our brothers who are doctors, one of whom claims to be a doctor; I mean, what do you call it, Arab medicine?
Those present: Yes.
The Shaykh : Arab, and the other is non-Arab medicine, so I want to ask them, and they are hearing my voice which barely makes clear what is in the heart of meanings; does continuing to speak benefit me medically and physically, or does the word of the Hereafter benefit me even if it leads to death? Does continuing to speak benefit me from a medical standpoint? And in that case, if it benefits me, I will continue as you heard, and if it does not benefit me, I will not say: I will not continue, but I will consult you; so what is your opinion?
Number one is here and number two is there, meaning this is Arab medicine, and there is non-Arab medicine.
The questioner : In fact, there is such a matter if there is something in the heart, I mean.
The Shaykh : No, a young man's heart - what Allah willed! - but there is inflammation in the larynx, and since yesterday I have been spitting blood.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, so Arab medicine may be more precise than non-Arab medicine. Arab medicine does not try to know precisely what the patient is complaining about, so here you are starting to build your answer on whether the heart is sick, but it should be examined before answering. Non-Arab medicine examines the patient from his head to the soles of his feet.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, the point is that I am not complaining now, and often we sit in such gatherings by the grace of Allah - Mighty and Majestic - I have not complained of laryngitis for about two weeks, and from yesterday until this morning I have been spitting blood; so does continuing to speak benefit me within the limits I set earlier?
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Or should I be a listener?
The questioner : If Allah wills, it will not harm you, and we will not tire you - if Allah wills - but it will not harm, I mean; why? Because if the heart is sound in the first degree and the lungs - also - are sound, then this larynx inflammation is partial, and it can be treated easily in Arab medicine, and I have a draft for a new book; if Allah wills, I will choose an Arabic medicine for you and buy it for you; I mean tomorrow, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : But is it in your medicine that the disease is treated before it spreads and widens, or do we let it widen and then treat it?
The questioner : No, you, if the disease comes, you must - also - attack it; stop it at its limit, and do not let it spread.
The Shaykh : So this speech is contrary to your first speech.
The questioner : Why?
The Shaykh : Because you say that in your speech, even if the disease increases, I will treat it with such and such.
The questioner : No, we, because I declared that the heart, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : We are talking about the larynx only.
The questioner : About the larynx, yes.
The Shaykh : No problem, we let it come and the disease and inflammation in the larynx spread on the pretext that we will treat it.
The questioner: Yesterday.
The Shaykh : Or do we treat it immediately?
The questioner : Yesterday, the doctor mentioned this matter to me; so I said to him: The Shaykh should drink milk, ginger, and honey.
The Shaykh : I have already done that, but I am asking about the following.
The questioner : Currently, there is nothing wrong with giving speech, but we do not want you to be exhausted in this session, we will rest you, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : I mean.
The questioner : From answering some of the questions, if that does not tire you, but if you feel effort and fatigue, there is nothing wrong with you resting.
The Shaykh : The matter has become confused for me, O Abu Muhammad, because you mean the fatigue of the body or the larynx?
The questioner : The fatigue of the larynx and the body.
The Shaykh : No, the body is fine as you say, but we are talking about the larynx.
The questioner : If there is any pain, leave the speech.
The Shaykh : I am asking whether the larynx, and the matter has reached this amount of inflammation ... spitting blood; will it be by increasing its fatigue or by resting it?
The questioner : By resting it.
The Shaykh : So this is the answer, did you rely on this answer?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : We will see the answer from the Western one.
Another questioner : ... Both doctors ... .
Another questioner : Doctor, please, Doctor, raise your voice.
Another questionerJami` at-Tirmidhi 2500Sahih (Darussalam) Since you say good, you continue.
The Shaykh : This is an answer.
Another questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It comes from me, not from you, but we are asking the doctors now to see what their opinion is? So you are hiding!
The Shaykh : Here, Doctor ... .
Another questioner : Yes, Professor.
The Shaykh : What do you have? I heard what your colleague said, and I do not know if my expression "your colleague" is correct or not? Because he is of one type and you are of another type!
The questioner : He is herbal medicine and I am surgery; we are opposites, I mean!
The Shaykh : What is your opinion?
The questioner : It is correct, as long as the blood has started to come down, this is proof that, if Allah wills, the tonsils have had this explosion that was causing the inflammation, and which was hindering the voice, of course, and preventing you from speaking, so now - if Allah wills - I mean there is nothing wrong with speaking; because as long as the tonsils themselves have had an explosion and the blood coming out, which was causing the swelling - if Allah the Exalted wills - I mean this will be good if you continue in speaking.
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Bring it so we can see where?
The questioner : Here, our Shaykh, please.
The Shaykh : Of course, you read all the questions and combined them if there was anything to be combined.
The questioner : Yes, I read them, Shaykh, of course, the questions, some of them are very scientific, so I postponed these relatively until the ...
The Shaykh: All right.
Those present: Yes.
