📌It improves the hair and skin and prevents headaches.[^11] Also: From one of our companions who said: I heard Aba ‘Abdillah (as) saying: The Holy Prophet would wash his head with sidr (lotus jujube) saying: “The one who washes his head with sidr , Allah will ward off from him the temptations of Shaitan; and the one who is not plagued by the temptations of Shaitan does not sin, and the one who does not sin shall enter paradise.”[^12] Note: The first section has been narrated by al-Saduq in Thawab al-A’mal.[^13] Ibna Bastam in Tibb al-A’immah: Narrated from the chain of ‘Ammar from Fudhayl al-Rassan who said: Abu ‘Abdillah (as) said: From the remedies and medicines of the prophets (as) are cupping, depilatory and (medicinal) snuff.[^14] al-Qutb al-Rawandi in his Da’awat: From the Noble Prophet (S) who said: “Should I not teach you about the medicine that was taught to me by Jibra’eel – after which you will not need any physician or cure?” They said: “Yes, O Prophet of Allah!” He said: “Take rain water and recite on it Fatihat al-Kitab (Surah al-Hamd) seventy times: ‘ Qul A’udhu Birabbi al-Nas’ (Surah an-Nas) seventy times: ‘ Qul A’udhu Birabbi al-Falaq’ (Surah al-Falaq) seventy times, Salawat seventy times and ‘SubhanAllah’ seventy times and then drink from this water in the morning and at night for seven days consecutively.”[^15] In al-Kafi: In his narration from Abi ‘Abdillah (as) who said: The Holy Prophet (S) complained to his Lord (SwT) of back pain, so He ordered him to eat cereal with meat – meaning ‘ al-Harisah’ (a dish made from mixing bulgur with meat).[^16] In al-Ja’fariyat: In his narration from ‘Ali (as): Whenever the Holy Prophet (S) suffered from any pain (in his body) he would perform cupping.[^17] Ibna Bastam in Tibb al-A’immah in his narration from Abi Usama who said: I heard Aba ‘Abdillah (as) saying: Our grandfather used nothing but the weight of ten dirhams of sugar mixed with cold water - on an empty stomach - to treat fever.[^18] Note: It is apparent that when he said ‘our grandfather’ he was referring to the Noble Prophet (S).
