English translation

4586. It was narrated from Al-Walid bin Muslim, from Ibn Juriaj, from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever practices medicine, although he is not known for that, he will be held liable." (Da'if) Naṣr[1] said: "Ibn Juraij narrated it to me." Abū Dāwūd said: This was not reported by anyone other than Al-Walīd, and I do not know whether it is Ṣaḥīḥ or not.

4586 - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْأَنْطَاكِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ تَطَبَّبَ، وَلَا يُعْلَمُ مِنْهُ طِبٌّ، فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ» قَالَ نَصْرٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «هَذَا لَمْ يَرْوِهِ إِلَّا الْوَلِيدُ، لَا نَدْرِي هُوَ صَحِيحٌ أَمْ لَا»
