Arabic text

3489 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَقَّارِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنِ اكْتَوَى، أَوِ اسْتَرْقَى، فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِنَ التَّوَكُّلِ»

Commentary

a. Arabs used to treat some kinds of diseases by heating up an iron object till it becomes red, and then the infected part of the body was burnt with it. This treatment was known as cauterization, and it was useful in preventing some diseases. b. Cauterization should be avoided as much as possible, but if there is no other way then it may be used as treatment.
