The Controversy of Self-Treatment in Islam
-
Is it true that flies are a cure?
-
Is it true that Muhammad's spittle is a cure?
-
Is it true that drinking urine is a cure?
Where does this Islamic science come from?
Muhammad Says Flies Are a Cure
"If a fly falls into the drink of anyone of you, it is essential to dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure (antidote for the disease)." (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Hadith 531)
"Abu Huraira narrated: The Prophet said, 'If a housefly falls into the drink of any of you, he should dip it in the drink, for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease.'" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Hadith 537)
For information, a well-fed fly defecates every five minutes according to http://www.thebestcontrol.com/bugstop/control_flies.htm.
Abu Huraira Has a Perfect Memory:
"Abu Huraira narrated: I said, 'O Allah's Messenger! I hear many narrations (Hadiths) from you but I forget them.' Allah's Messenger said, 'Spread your garment.' I did accordingly and then he moved his hands as if scooping something and emptied it into my garment and said, 'Take and wrap this sheet over your body.' I did it and after that I never forgot anything." (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 3, Hadith 119). Also found in Bukhari Volume 4, Book 56, Hadith 841; Bukhari Volume 9, Book 23, Hadith 452.
"Abu Huraira narrated: The Prophet said, 'If a fly falls in the vessel of any of you, let him dip all of it (into the vessel) and then throw it away, for in one of its wings there is a disease and in the other there is healing (antidote for the disease).'" (Bukhari Volume 7, Book 71, Hadith 673).
The footnotes explain that modern medicine has found that flies carry pathogens on some parts of their bodies, but they also carry antidotes for these pathogens. This explanation suggests that dipping the fly releases the antidote to counteract the disease.
Muhammad Says Drinking Camel Urine Is Medicine
Using Camel Urine as a Cure:
According to Muhammad, people are punished in their graves for defiling themselves with urine. (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 4, Hadith 215; Bukhari Volume 1, Book 4, Hadith 217).
However, Muhammad instructed some people to follow his shepherd and drink the camel's milk and urine as a remedy. (Bukhari Volume 7, Book 71, Hadith 589, 590 and Volume 7, Book 71, Hadith 623).
Muhammad also said that camel urine is a good remedy. (Ibn-i-Majah Volume 5, Book 31, Hadith 3503).
Some Muslims were told to drink camel urine and ended up rebelling and killing the shepherd. Muhammad ordered their hands and feet to be cut off and their eyes to be branded. (Sunan Nasa’i Volume 1, Hadith 308-309). See also Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Hadith 261.
Religious Incantations as a Remedy for Scorpion Stings:
Muhammad used incantations to remove the poison from scorpion stings. (Sahih Muslim Volume 3, Book 24, Hadith 5442-5444, 5448).
Muhammad and Other Remedies:
There is no disease that does not have a cure according to Sahih Muslim Volume 3, Page 1199, 1200.
Allah has made a remedy for every disease except old age. (Abu Dawud Volume 3, Hadith 3846).
An entire book in Ibn-i-Majah (Volume 5) is dedicated to medicine. It states that every disease except old age has a remedy. (Ibn-i-Majah Volume 5, Hadith 3436, Page 1).
Muhammad advised people with pain in their legs to apply henna. (Abu Dawud Volume 3, Hadith 3849).
Collyrium (an eye wash) makes the eyes bright and promotes the growth of eyelashes. (Ibn-i-Majah Volume 5, Book 31, Hadith 3497, Page 35).
Disclaimer:
The footnotes quote a doctor from the Department of Hadith; they did not get a quote from the Department of Medicine or Health.
One wing of a fly has a disease and the other has the cure. (Abu Dawud Volume 3, Hadith 3835).
If a fly falls into the drink, dip the other wing into the drink. (Ibn-i-Majah Volume 5, Hadith 3504-3505).
Muhammad and Clean Water:
Regarding health control by removing impure water and waste: When asked about drinking water from a well containing menstrual rags, dead dogs, and stinking things, Muhammad said that water is always pure and is not defiled by anything. (Abu Dawud Volume 1, Chapter 35, Hadith 66-67).
Conclusion:
These teachings highlight the significant differences in understanding and approach to health and medicine between Islamic traditions and modern science.
Today, we have learned something about Islam, which relies more on worldly matters rather than trusting in the living God.
