Tibb an-Nabi ˶Β͉ ϟ ͊ΐσ Medicine of the Prophet ϢϠγ ϟ Ϡϋ Ϳ Ϡλ ήϔϐΘδϤϟ ΪϤΤϣ ϦΑ ήϔόΟ αΎΒόϟ Α AH 432 .Mustaghfiri d-Muhammad al .Abbas b -` Abu µl Translator¶s note: The compiler of this collection was an Ash`ari Hanafi and thus not Shi`i, so care ought to be taken in regards to its contents as to whether it agrees or not with the hadiths in our books. However, this work has found widespread usage amongst the Shi`a, being used in our books (such as in Bihar), and is thus included here on the site. `Allama Majlisi wrote in regards to it: Ύ<ΎϤϠϋ Ϧ Α ϝΪΘϣ έθϣ <Ϝϟ Ϧ ϔϟΎΨϤϟ ϕήσ Ϧϣ έΎΒΧ ήΜϛ ϥΎϛ ϥ ( ι ) Β<ϟ ΐσ ΏΎΘϛ ³And the book Tibb an-Nabi ϡ ϝα ϝ ϝω ϝϝ ϝι, even though the majority of its reports are from the paths of the opponents (turuq al-mukhalifeen), however it is famous (and) in circulation amongst our scholars." In the translation, I have not included most of the occurrences of the expression "The Messenger of Allah ϝι ϝϝ ϝω ϝ said" that occurs at the beginning of the narrations.
