Seek treatment, for Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has not sent down any disease except that He has also sent down its cure, except for one disease." They asked: O Messenger of Allah! And what is that? He said: "Old age." The people submitted: O Messenger of Allah! What is the best thing given to a person? He said: "Good character."
