Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «من تطيب وَلَمْ يُعْلَمْ مِنْهُ طِبٌّ فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ

Translation

Amr ibn Shuayb reported from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of God said: ‘Whoever practices medicine without being known as a practitioner is liable.’ Abu Dawud and al-Nasa'i transmitted it.

Translation notes

  • The Arabic uses an anomalous form of the verb for practicing medicine. The intended sense is clear from context and the English witness; its explanatory footnote about liability for death is absent from the Arabic text.
