الطب النبوي
For centuries, scholars including Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya and al-Dhahabi compiled the Prophet's ﷺ guidance on health into books arranged by topic. Medicine of the Prophet rebuilds that guidance as a searchable index — Arabic hadith text, plain-English meaning, sourcing, and classical commentary, organized the way you'd actually look something up: by the problem you're trying to solve.
The tradition doesn't separate "medicine" from diet, ritual, or supplication — it treats the whole person. These are the categories used throughout the index.
Honey, dates, milk, figs — foods the texts single out by name.
21 entriesBlack seed, senna, costus, ginger — plant preparations and dosing notes.
12 entriesCupping, fasting, hygiene habits, sleep posture — things done, not consumed.
28 entriesRuqyah, protective recitation, and blessed water — treatment through recitation and intention.
12 entriesKohl and related preparations outside the food/herb split.
1 entryOr skip the categories — search by symptom, remedy name, or Arabic term.
Open full index →Alongside the remedy index, search the 99 Names of Allah by a physical concern — the same way you'd search a remedy — or by a personal one: anxiety, grief, guilt, patience, and more. Includes a clear guide on how to recite them.
Each entry pairs the original Arabic with a plain-English meaning, its source and grading, and Ibn al-Qayyim's own commentary.
