The Shaykh : We are not saying that it is required or not required; we are saying that the occurrence of healing does not indicate that the cause of the healing is a prescribed and righteous matter; so here, when you say that material medical treatment is prescribed; we also say: supplication to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is prescribed, so he made supplication, but he made supplication and associated partners with Allah.
