Doing the causes that were commanded by the Shari'ah or taught by divine decree, because causes are either known by the Shari'ah or known by divine decree. For example, medicines are among the causes of healing. Medicines are among the causes of healing, is that not so? Some medicines we know through the path of the Shari'ah, and some medicines we know through the path of divine decree, that is, by experience. Through experience, we know that this is a medicine for this disease. So from the things... from the medicines that were known by the Shari'ah, yes.
