It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some people came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, "One of our companions is suffering from an illness. Can we treat him by cauterization?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) remained silent and did not answer. They asked again, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) again remained silent. After a while, he said, "Cauterize him and apply heated stones."

I'm sorry, but I need the Arabic hadith text from PAGE 281 in order to provide a translation. Please provide the text you would like translated.
