SOME HADITH ABOUT MEDICINE

I would be very greatful if anybody could point to other places in
the Quran and Hadith about Medicine.  

*****

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 28, Number 3846: 
Narrated Usamah ibn Sharik: I came to the Prophet peace_be_upon_him)
and his Companions were sitting as if they had birds on their heads.
I saluted and sat down. The desert Arabs then came from here and
there. They asked: Apostle of Allah, should we make use of medical
treatment? He replied: Make use of medical treatment, for Allah has
not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it, with the
exception of one disease, namely old age 

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 28, Number 3848: 
Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The best
medical treatment you apply is cupping.

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 28, Number 3852: 
Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If
anyone has himself cupped on the 17th, 19th and 21st it will be a
remedy for every disease. 

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 28, Number 3860: 
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: I heard the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) say: If I drink an antidote, or tie an amulet, or
compose poetry, I am the type who does not care what he does.

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 28, Number 3861: 
Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
prohibited unclean medicine.

Narrated AbudDarda: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Allah has
sent down both the disease and the cure, and He has appointed a cure
for every disease, so treat yourselves medically, but use nothing
unlawful. 

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 28, Number 3866: 
Narrated Sa'd: I suffered from an illness. The Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) came to pay a visit to me. He put his hands
between my nipples and I felt its coolness at my heart. He said: You
are a man suffering from heart sickness. Go to al-Harith ibn
Kaladah, brother of Thaqif. He is a man who gives medical treatment.
He should take seven ajwah dates of Medina and grind them with their
kernels, and then put them into your mouth. 

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 28, Number 3874: 
Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: Zaynab, the wife of Abdullah ibn
Mas'ud, told that Abdullah said: I heard the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) saying: spells, charms and love-potions are
polytheism. 
I asked: Why do you say this? I swear by Allah, when my eye was
discharging I used to go to so-and-so, the Jew, who applied a spell
to me. When he applied the spell to me, it calmed down.  
Abdullah said: That was just the work of the Devil who was picking
it with his hand, and when he uttered the spell on it, he desisted.
All you need to do is to say as the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) used to say: Remove the harm, O Lord of men,
and heal. Thou art the Healer. There is no remedy but Thine which
leaves no disease behind. 

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 28, Number 3883: 
Narrated AbudDarda': I heard the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) say: If any of you is suffering from anything
or his brother is suffering, he should say: Our ord is Allah Who is
in the heaven, holy is Thy name, Thy command reigns supreme in the
heaven and the earth, as Thy mercy in the heaven, make Thy mercy in
the earth; forgive us our sins, and our errors; Thou art the Lord of
good men; send down mercy from Thy mercy, and remedy, and remedy
from Thy remedy on this pain so that it is healed up. 

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 28, Number 3887: 
Narrated Alaqah ibn Sahar at-Tamimi: Alaqah came to the Apostle of
Allah (may peace be upon him) and embraced Islam. He then came back
from him and passed some people who had a lunatic fettered in
chains. 
His people said: We are told that your companion has brought some
good. Have you something with which you can cure him? I then
recited Surat al-Fatihah and he was cured. They gave me one hundred
sheep. I then came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and
informed him of it. 
He asked: Is it only this? The narrator, Musaddad, said in his other
version: Did you say anything other than this? I said: No. He said:
Take it, for by my life, some accept if for a worthless chain, but
you have done so for a genuine one.

not treat (your chief) unless you pay us for it." So they agreed to
pay them a flock of sheep. One of them (the Prophet's companions)
started reciting Surat-al-Fatiha and gathering his saliva and
spitting it (at the snake-bite). The patient got cured and his
people presented the sheep to them, but they said, "We will not take

Bani Zaraiq worked magic on Allah's Apostle till Allah's Apostle
started imagining that he had done a thing that he had not really
done. One day or one night he was with us, he invoked Allah and
invoked for a long period, and then said, "O 'Aisha! Do you know
that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I have asked him
about? Two men came to me and one of them sat near my head and the
other near my feet. One of them said to his companion, "What is the
disease of this man?" The other replied, "He is under the effect of
magic.' The first one asked, 'Who has worked the magic on him?' The
other replied, "Labid bin Al-A'sam.' The first one asked, 'What
material did he use?' The other replied, 'A comb and the hairs stuck
to it and the skin of pollen of a male date palm.' The first one
asked, 'Where is that?' The other replied, '(That is) in the well
of Dharwan;' " So Allah's Apostle along with some of his companions
went there and came back saying, "O 'Aisha, the color of its water
is like the infusion of Henna leaves. The tops of the date-palm trees
near it are like the heads of the devils." I asked. "O Allah's

received a wound in the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace. The blood clotted in the wound and

and claimed that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said to them, "Which of you is the better doctor?"

medicine, but an ailment.

Apart from these hadith there is a book about recitation of certain
