This is what the Commander of the Faithful (pbuh) says about the Prophet (pbuh), “The Prophet (pbuh) was like a roaming physician who had prepared his ointments and heated his instruments” (Nahjul Balaghah, Sermon 108). This skilled physician had prepared both the ointments – the medicine that is put on the wound to heal it – and the heating device. In the past, when a wound did not heal with ointment, it was healed by applying heat to it. He had both things, both the ointment and the heating device. He presented these to humanity in the form of the Quran. If you want to live well, this is how you should live.
