Hadith of Usamah ibn Sharik (RA)

حديث أسامة بن شريك

Hadith 653:2

Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from Ziyad ibn 'Alaqah, from Usamah ibn Sharik, who said: I came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his companions were with him as if birds were upon their heads. He said: So I greeted him and sat down. He said: Then the Bedouins came and asked him, saying: "O Messenger of Allah, should we seek medical treatment?" He said: "Yes, seek medical treatment, for Allah has not placed a disease without placing a cure for it, except for one disease: old age." He said: And Usamah, when he grew old, used to say: "Do you see any cure for me now?" He said: And they asked him about things, "Is there any sin upon us in such and such?" He said: "O servants of Allah, Allah has removed the sin, except for a man who borrows from a Muslim man unjustly; that is the sin, and he is ruined." They said: "What is the best thing that people have been given, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Good character."
