Prophet's Guidance on treating Pimples

 Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu, 

ذكر ابن السُّنى فى كتابه عن بعض أزواج النبىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، قالت: دخل علىَّ رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقد خرج فى أصبعى بَثْرَةٌ، فقال: "عِنْدَكِ ذَرِيرةٌ" ؟ قلت: نعم. قال: "ضَعيها عليها"، وقُولى: "اللَّهُمَّ مُصَغِّرَ الكَبِيرِ، ومُكبِّرَ الصَغِيرِ، صَغِّرْ مَا بِى".

 

 

Ibn As-Sunni said in his book that one of the wives of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said "Once the Messenger of Allah came by when I had a pimple on my finger, he saw it & asked:

 

 

"Do you have a Tharirah (arum or sweet Flag), I said, Yes". He said, "Place it on the pimple. He then said, Say, O Allah who Transforms the big to small and the small to big, make what I am suffering from small".

 

 

Tharirah (Arum) is an Indian remedy made of arum cane. Arum is hot and dry and helps against stomach and liver tumors, dropsy and it strengthens the heart as well.

 

 

وفى "الصحيحين" عن عائشة أنها قالت: طيَّبْتُ رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بيَدِى بذَرِيرةٍ فى حَجَّةِ الوَداع للحِلِّ والإحْرَامِ

 

 

In the Sahihain, it is narrated that Aishah Radiy Allahu Anha said "I perfumed the Messenger of Allah with my hands using Tharirah (Arum) during the farewell Hajj and while the state of Ihram and otherwise.

 

 

The pimple is a growth that results from hot harmful, septic substances that push towards the skin so as to find a way out of the body. The pimple needs to mature and to then be opened and extracted, such as by using the Tharirah, which helps extract the septic matter from the pimple, along with giving a good aroma. 

Tharirah soothes the hotness of the pimple. This is why the author of Al-Qanoon said, "There is no better remedy for the burns than the Tharirah, when it is blended with rose essence and vinegar. Barakallahu fiikum Ajma'in ya Ikhwah.

The Human Prophet (SAW)

Although the Prophet PBUH on one hand gave suitable advice to his followers on earthly affairs when such situations were brought to his attention, on the other hand he tried his best to create confidence in themselves so that they could act according to their own experience and opinions. Once, while withdrawing his advice given earlier on the cross pollination of date palm he said, “Whenever I command you to do something related to religion, do obey. And if I command you something about earthly matters, act on your own (experience) and (do remember) I am a human being .”

Hope as Medicine

There are many Prophetic hadiths in Bukhari, Muslim and others that show that people were accustomed to go to the Prophet (SAW) regularly and tell him about their ailments. He would advise them to resort to medicine first and then pray to God to get rid of the disease. On several occasions he would himself suggest certain medicines. For instance, in case of loss of appetite he frequently advised his followers to take talbina , a preparation made from barley . For constipation he used to recommend the use of senna . He was also in favor of regular use of honey for keeping fit. Similarly, for different ailments he would advise the use of olives , black cumin, chicory , endive fenugreek , ginger , marjoram , saffron , vinegar , and watercress . Hadiths on these medicines and others show the concern of the Prophet (SAW) for the welfare and good health of his followers.
