Al-Tibb al-Nabawi, or Medicine of the Prophet, by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (691-751AH/1292-1350AD) is the most renowned example of the body of work known in the Islamic world as "Prophetic medicine" or "medicine of the Prophet." Ibn Qayyim aims to give guidance stemming from the Prophet for the preservation and restoration of both physical and spiritual health. Despite its medical content, the Medicine of the Prophet differs from the writings of earlier physicians, such as Razi, Tabari and Ibn Sina, in that it is written by a theologian who is more concerned with piety than medical theory. Ibn Qayyim’s book is of great interest in that it gives a wide range of customs and attitudes current at the time and the practices of ordinary people.
This translation by Dr. Penelope Johnstone of Oxford University includes the Latin names of plants and drugs, as well as an English-Arabic technical glossary and an English-Arabic Materia Medica glossary. All of the hadith in this work have been subjected to the verification of the source and authentication (takhreej).
Medicine of the Prophet is a combination of religious and medical information, providing advice and guidance on the two aims of medicine - the preservation and restoration of health - in careful conformity with the teachings of Islam as enshrined in the Qur’an and the hadith, or sayings of the Prophet. Written in the fourteenth century by the renowned theologian Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (d. 751AH/1350AD) as part of his work Zad al-Ma’ad, this book is a mine of information on the customs and sayings of the Prophet, as well as on herbal and medical practices current at the time of the author. In bringing together these two aspects, Ibn Qayyim has produced a concise summary of how the Prophet’s guidance and teaching can be followed, as well as how health, sickness and cures were viewed by Muslims in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The original Arabic text offers an authoritative compendium of Islamic medicine and still enjoys much popularity in the Muslim world. This English translation is a more complete presentation than has previously been available and includes verification of all hadith references. Medicine of the Prophet will appeal not only to those interested in alternative systems of health and medicine, but also to people wishing to acquaint themselves with, or increase their knowledge of, hadith and the religion and culture of Islam.
