Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Hadith of Halila Supplement 7 I praise Him and glorify Him. But I have doubt with regard to one thing. Are the deadly poison that kill man and injure the creations created by Him?" "Is it not clear to you", I asked, "that poison is created by God?" "Well, I don't understand", he replied, "Why He creates injurious and evil things.
Such evil things be far from His nature, and it does not have Him to injure what is His own." I will still by this, halila and the medical science explains and prove to you that such things seemingly harmful to man are not in reality so. Do you know of any plants perfectly harmless to man?" I asked. "Yes", he replied. "What are they?" "Those which men eat daily for food", he said.
"Do you believe", I asked, "that food sometimes produces change of colour in the body, and various ailments, such as leprosy, consumption or Jaundice?" "Yes", he said. "Then your reply, a short time back was incorrect." "Yes, indeed", he said. "Do you know of roots of no benefit to man?" I asked. "Yes", he replied. "What are they?" I asked. They are ………… (this remains an unfilled space as the words of the reply are not found in the original text).
"But do you not know, that mixed with other things there very roots cure leprosy and consumption? I think you must know this. Can you tell me the name of plant that acts as an antidote to poison ? Has not 'Tiryak' such an effect ? I asked. "Yes", he replied, 'Tiryak' is the King of all medicines. It is sought for in cases of snake bite, sting of a wasp or an ant, or when poison has been taken internally.
"Do you not Know", said I "that poisons are administered in two ways, namely, external application, and internal administration, and this 'tiryak' is prepared by special distillation and the burning with it of the flesh of the most venomous snakes?" "Yes" he said, "I am wrong again, for, tiryak dose, not prove an efficacious antidote to poison unless prepared as you mention." "Then there is nothing really evil, though it may seem so at the first sight, created by God", said I.
"Now I declare, 'La-i-laha, il-lallah, vah-dahula sharik-a-lahu (There is no God but one God, and He has no partner), and bear testimony that He has created all the (seemingly) injurious things as well as the good. The heavenly bodies, the clouds and wind He regulates. The diseases and medicines are all from Him. He knows man's body exactly -its ailments and remedies.
