كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُبْعَثُ لَهُ الدَّوَاءُ مِنْ رِيحِ الْبَوَاسِيرِ فَيَشْرَبُهُ بِقَدْرِ أُسْكُرُّجَةٍ مِنْ نَبِيذٍ صُلْبٍ لَيْسَ يُرِيدُ بِهِ اللَّذَّةَ وَ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ بِهِ الدَّوَاءَ فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَا جُرْعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ مِمَّا حَرَّمَ شِفَاءً وَ لَا دَوَاءً .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umyer, from Umar Bin Azina who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> asking him<sup>asws</sup> about the man whom the medication for the wind of the hemorrhoids is sent to, so he drinks a dosage from <span class="iTxt">Nabeez</span>, not intending the pleasure by it, and rather intending the cure by it’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, and not a single dosage’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic did not Make a healing to be in anything from what He<sup>azwj</sup> Prohibited, nor a medication’.
