حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبْجَرَ، عَنْ إِيَادِ بْنِ لَقِيطٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ

فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي أَرِنِي هَذَا الَّذِي بِظَهْرِكَ فَإِنِّي رَجُلٌ طَبِيبٌ. قَالَ: «اللَّهُ الطَّبِيبُ بَلْ أَنْتَ رَجُلٌ رَفِيقٌ طَبِيبُهَا الَّذِي خَلَقَهَا»

This version adds (to the previous hadith No 4194): My father said to him (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)): Show me what is on your back, for I am a physician. He (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said: You are only a soother. Its physician is He Who has created it.

আবূ রিমসাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, অতঃপর আমার পিতা তাঁকে বলেন, আপনার পিঠের এ জিনিসটি (নাবূওয়াতের মোহর) আমাকে দেখান, কারণ আমি একজন চিকিৎসক। তিনি বললেনঃ আল্লাহ হলেন চিকিৎসক, আর তুমি একজন বন্ধু। তিনিই এর চিকিৎসক যিনি একে সৃষ্টি করেছেন।[1] সহীহ।

اس سند سے ابورمثہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے اس حدیث میں مروی ہے کہ میرے والد نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے عرض کیا کہ مجھے آپ اپنی وہ چیز دکھائیں جو آپ کی پشت پر ہے کیونکہ میں طبیب ہوں، آپ نے فرمایا: طبیب تو اللہ ہے، بلکہ تو رفیق ہے ( مریض کو تسکین اور دلاسے دیتا ہے ) طبیب تو وہی ہے جس نے اسے پیدا کیا ہے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Yunus] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ubaidullah] - maksudnya Ubaidullah bin Had- ia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Iyad] dari [Abu Rimtsah] ia berkata, "Aku bersama bapakku pergi menemui Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, dan ternyata rambut beliau panjangnya hingga daun telinga yang diberi warna dengan daun pacar, dan beliau mengenakan dua kain berwarna hijau."

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad Ibnul 'Ala] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Idris] ia berkata; Aku mendengar [Ibnu Abjar] dari [Iyad bin Laqith] dari [Abu Rimtsah] berkenaan dengan kabar ini.

Ia (perawi) berkata; Lalu bapakku berkata kepadanya, "Perlihatkanlah kepadaku apa yang ada di punggungmu, karena aku adalah seorang tabib." Ia berkata, "Demi Allah, engkau hanyalah perantara. Tabib yang sebenarnya adalah Dzat Yang telah menciptakannya (sakit)

Bize Muhammed b. El-Alâ haber verdi. Bize İdris. İbn Ebcer'den işittim diyerek haber verdi. İbn Ebcer. İyad b. Lekittan, o da Ebû Rimse'den bu (4206.) haberi rivayet edip şöyle dedi. Babam Rasûluliah (s.a.v.)'e: "Bana sırtındaki (nübüvvet mührü) nü gösler; ben tabibim" dedi. Rasûlullah (s.a.v.): "Tabîb Allah'tır belki, sen şefkatli bir adamsın onun tabibi yaratandır." buyurdu

What it means

Abu Ramthah was a physician. When he saw the mark of prophet-hood protruding between the shoulder blades of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), he thought that it was a lump formed by waste substances.

So, he asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to let him treat it because he was a physician. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) replied that Allah is the Physician, i.e. he is the true healer who treats the disease with the medicine that cures it. His words: “You are only a kind man” mean that you are only kind and gentle to the patient.

That is because a physician is the one who is knowledgeable of the true nature of the disease and medicine, and he is the one who is able to grant health and recovery. No one could do this but Allah.
