Hadith 33:633
'Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad al-Muharibi narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Malik ibn 'Umayr, who said: It was said to al-Rabi', "Shall we call a physician for you?" He said, "Wait for me." Then he reflected and said: "And 'Ad and Thamud and the companions of the well and many generations between them. And for each We presented examples, and each We destroyed with [total] destruction." He mentioned their greed for the world and their desire for it. He said: "There were physicians among them, yet neither the healer remained, nor the one who was healed. The describer and the one described perished. By Allah, you shall not call a physician for me."
حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن محمد المحاربي عن عبد الملك بن عمير قال للربيع ألا ندعو لك طبيبا فقال أنظروني ثم تفكر فقال @QB@ وعادا وثمود وأصحاب الرس وقرونا بين ذلك كثيرا وكلا ضربنا له الأمثال وكلا تبرنا تتبيرا @QE@ فذكر من حرصهم على الدنيا ورغبتهم فيها قال فقد كانت فيهم أطباء فلا المداوي بقي ولا المداوى هلك الناعت والمنعوت له والله لا تدعون لي طبيبا
