Mentioning some issues related to Arab medicine and non-Arab medicine (Hadith).
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Two of our brothers are doctors; one claims to be a doctor of, what do you call it, Arab medicine? Arab, and the other practices non-Arab medicine. So I want to ask them, and they are hearing my voice, which barely makes clear or reveals the meanings in the heart: Does continuing to speak benefit me medically in a material sense, 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 if it does benefit me, I will continue as you heard, and if it does not benefit me, I will not say that I will stop, but I will consult you. So what is your opinion?
Number one is here and number two is there, meaning Arab medicine here and non-Arab medicine there.
The questioner : In fact, there is this matter: if there is something in the heart, meaning...
The Shaykh : A young man's heart, what Allah willed, but there is inflammation in the larynx, and since yesterday I have been spitting blood. So Arab medicine may be more precise in its matter than non-Arab medicine. Arab medicine does not try to know precisely what the patient is complaining about. You started building your answer on the assumption that the heart is diseased, but it is necessary to examine before answering.
Non-Arab medicine examines the patient from his head to the soles of his feet.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, 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 do not complain except of inflammation in the larynx for about two weeks, and from yesterday until this morning I have been spitting blood. So, within the limits I set earlier, does continuing to speak benefit me... I will 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, meaning, why? Because if the heart is sound in the first place, and the lungs are also sound, then this inflammation in the larynx is partial and can be treated easily with Arab medicine. And I have a draft of a new book, if Allah wills, I will choose an Arab medicine for you and buy it for you. Meaning, tomorrow, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : But is it in your medicine to treat the disease before it spreads and widens, or do we let it widen and then treat it?
The questioner : No. If the disease comes, you must also attack it, to stop it at its limit, so... and do not let it spread.
The Shaykh : But this speech is contrary to your first speech.
The questioner : Why?
The Shaykh : Because you say that in your speech, 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 : The larynx, yes.
The Shaykh : No problem... if the disease and inflammation in the larynx expand, 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, and I told him that the Shaykh should drink milk, ginger, and honey.
The Shaykh : I have already done that, but I am asking about the future.
The questioner : Currently, there is nothing wrong with delivering the speech, but we do not want you to overexert yourself 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 strain and fatigue, there is nothing wrong with you resting.
The Shaykh : The matter has become confused for me, O Abu Muhammad, because do you mean fatigue of the body or fatigue of the larynx?
The questioner : Fatigue of the larynx and the body.
The Shaykh : The body too, as you say, but we are talking about the larynx.
The questioner : If there is any pain, leave the speech.
The Shaykh : We are asking whether the larynx, and the matter has reached this extent of inflammation... spitting blood, will be helped by increasing its exertion or by its rest.
The questioner : By its rest.
The Shaykh : If this is the answer, did you rely on this answer?
The doctor: Yes.
The Shaykh : We will see the answer from the Western one...
Another questioner: Doctor, please, Doctor, raise your voice.
Another questioner:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2500Sahih (Darussalam) Since you are saying good, 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 to see what their opinion is?
Another questioner: Yes, Professor.
The Shaykh : 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, hehe, opposites, meaning.
The Shaykh : What is your opinion?
The questioner : It is correct, as long as the blood has started to come out, this is proof that, if Allah wills, the tonsils have had this explosion that was causing the inflammation and that was obstructing the voice and preventing you from speaking. So now, if Allah wills, there is nothing wrong with speaking, because as long as the tonsils themselves have undergone an explosion, the release of blood, this is what was causing the swelling, if Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, means this will be good if you continue in speaking...
Another questioner: ...
The Shaykh : Bring it, let's see...
The questioner : ... Our Shaykh, please.
The Shaykh : Of course, you read all the questions, if there is anything that unifies them.
The questioner : Yes, well, of course, the questions are very scientific, so these are their last ones relatively, until...
The Shaykh : Very well.

And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, then let him say what is good or remain silent.
