مسند إسحاق بن راهويه

Musnad Ishaq ibn Rahwayh
Isḥāq said:
Sufyān informed us, on the authority of Ziyād ibn ʿIlāqah, who heard it from Usāmah ibn Sharīk (may Allah be pleased with him). Usāmah was present with the Prophet ﷺ while the Bedouins were asking him, “Would we incur blame for such-and-such? Would we incur blame for such-and-such?”
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: “O servants of Allah, Allah has removed blame, except from a person who unjustly violates his brother’s honor; he is the one who has incurred blame and brought ruin upon himself.”
They asked, “O Messenger of Allah, should we seek medical treatment?” He replied: “Seek treatment, for Allah has not sent down any illness without also sending down a remedy for it, except death.”
They asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what is the finest gift a servant may be granted?” He replied: “Excellent character.”

Thulāthiyyāt Isḥāq ibn Rāhawayh 3
قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ شَرِيكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، وَشَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَالْأَعْرَابُ يَسْأَلُونَهُ: هَلْ عَلَيْنَا جُنَاحٌ فِي كَذَا؟ هَلْ عَلَيْنَا جُنَاحٌ فِي كَذَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ:
«عِبَادَ اللَّهِ، رَفَعَ اللَّهُ الْحَرَجَ، إِلَّا امْرَأً اقْتَرَضَ مِنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيهِ شَيْئًا، فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَرِجَ وَهَلَكَ».
فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَتَدَاوَى؟ قَالَ:
«تَدَاوَوْا؛ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلَّا أَنْزَلَ لَهُ دَوَاءً، إِلَّا الْمَوْتَ».
قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَمَا أَفْضَلُ مَا أُعْطِيَ الْعَبْدُ؟ فَقَالَ:
«خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ».

Chain: Isḥāq ibn Rāhawayh → Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah → Ziyād ibn ʿIlāqah → Usāmah ibn Sharīk (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ.
Rijāl: (1) Sufyān here is Ibn ʿUyaynah. He was an imām, ḥāfiẓ, jurist, and authoritative proof. Ibn Ḥajar described him as “thiqa, ḥāfiẓ, a jurist, an imām, and a ḥujjah,” while noting that his memory changed slightly near the end of his life and that he sometimes practiced tadlīs, though from reliable narrators. (Taqrīb al-Tahdhīb, no. 2451.) (2) Ziyād ibn ʿIlāqah: Thiqa. Ibn Maʿīn, al-Nasāʾī, al-ʿIjlī, and Yaʿqūb ibn Sufyān all declared him reliable. (3) Usāmah ibn Sharīk: Companion.
Takhrīj: Isḥāq ibn Rāhawayh, al-Musnad (2348); Abū Dāwūd, al-Ṭibb (3855); al-Tirmidhī, al-Ṭibb (2038), who graded the treatment portion ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ; al-Nasāʾī, al-Sunan al-Kubrā (7554); Ibn Mājah, al-Ṭibb (3436); and Aḥmad (18454). Al-Nawawī classified its isnād as ṣaḥīḥ, and Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr also authenticated the report.
Variant note: The recension of Musnad Isḥāq reads “except death” (إِلَّا الْمَوْتَ). The more widespread wording in the Sunan collections reads “except old age” (إِلَّا الْهَرَمَ), while “death” is also established as a transmitted variant. The wording “he unjustly violated his brother’s honor” translates Isḥāq’s reading, اقْتَرَضَ مِنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيهِ; other routes contain variants such as اقْتَرَفَ رَجُلًا مُسْلِمًا.
