Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبْجَرَ عَنْ إِيَادِ بْنِ لَقِيطٍ عَنْ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ قَالَ انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ أَبِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَ
بِي إِنِّي رَجُلٌ طَبِيبٌ فَأَرِنِي هَذِهِ السِّلْعَةَ الَّتِي بِظَهْرِكَ قَالَ وَمَا تَصْنَعُ بِهَا قَالَ أَقْطَعُهَا قَالَ لَسْتَ بِطَبِيبٍ وَلَكِنَّكَ رَفِيقٌ طَبِيبُهَا الَّذِي وَضَعَهَا وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَهَا

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Rimtha (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abdullah [ibn Ahmad], from Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shayba, from Husayn ibn 'Ali, from Ibn Abjar, from Iyad ibn Laqit — from Abu Rimtha, who said: 'I went with my father when I was a boy to the Prophet ﷺ. My father said to him: "I am a physician — show me this tumor on your back." He said: "And what will you do with it?" He said: "I will cut it off." He said: "You are not a physician — rather you are a gentle companion [rafiq]. Its physician is the One who placed it." Another narrator said: "... the One who created it."'
