1368 الله الطبيب، بل أنت رجل رفيق، طبيبها الذي خلقها
Allah is the Physician. You are only a kind man. The one who heals it is the One who created it

عن أبي رَمْثة رضي الله عنه أنَّه قال للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : أَرِني هذا الذي بظهرك، فإنِّي رجلٌ طبيبٌ، قال: «اللهُ الطبيبُ، بل أنت رجلٌ رَفِيقٌ، طبيبُها الذي خلقَها».

Abu Ramthah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he said to the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him): "Show me this thing on your back (to treat it), for I am a physician." The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Allah is the Physician. You are only a kind man. The one who heals it is the One who created it.”

صحيح - ( رواه أبو داود وأحمد ). Sahih/Authentic. [Abu Dawood]

كان أبو رمثة طبيبًا، فرأى خاتم النبوة ظاهرًا ناتئًا بين كتفي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فظنه سلعة تولدت من الفضلات أو مرضًا جلديًّا، فطلب من النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يعالجه، فرد المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم كلامه بأن «الله الطبيب» أي: هو المداوي الحقيقي بالدواء الشافي من الداء «بل أنت رجل رفيق» ترفق بالمريض وتتلطف به، وذلك لأن الطبيب هو العالم بحقيقة الدواء والداء، والقادر على الصحة والشفاء، وليس ذلك إلا الله.
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.

خاتم النبوة كان ظاهرًا بين كتفي النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. جواز إطلاق «الطبيب» عليه -تعالى-.
