The Imam was asked a long question of which a part was: What is the opinion of the scholars regarding a man who is afflicted by a disease, and knows that if it should continue it would damage his life? The Imam Quoted the Hadith from Sahih Bukhari, the Prophet (S) said: "Allah has appointed a remedy for every disease He has sent down." Imam Ahmad reported on the authority of Usamah bin Shareek that the Prophet (S) said: "Allah has not made a disease without providing a remedy for it, with the exception of one disease, namely old age." This Applies to medicine for the heart, soul, and body. The well being of the servant's heart, is far more important than that of his body, for while the well being of his body enables him to lead a life that is free from illnesses in this world, that of the heart ensures him both a fortunate life in this world and eternal bliss in the next.
