Medicine of the Prophet

This does not mean that a believer should be or is free of all worries.
The true believer will worry, to a certain extent, but only in regards to
those things that really matter.
Hind ibn Ab| *\lah y, a companion, is reported to have said whilst
describing the Prophet r,
‘The Prophet was always concerned and always in deep thought, he
did not enjoy freedom from anxiety.’
Ash-Sham\’il al-Mu#ammadiyyah of at-Tirmidh|
Commentating on this, scholars write that this anxiety of the Prophet r
was not for the world; rather it was for the hereafter and the state of his
Ummah.
Anxiety is just one of the many different types of detrimental emotions.
Another is anger. Everyone, to a certain extent, experiences anger. The
Prophet himself is reported to have, on occasions, become extremely
angry particularly when a commandment of All\h was broken.
Through this we come to learn that anger in itself is not undesired, but
rather that extreme anger triggered by wrong things, and what is
uncontrollable and can lead to someone committing actions which
they may later regret.
‘Whatever you are given (here) is (but) a convenience of this Life:
but that which is with All\h is better and more lasting:
(it is) for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord;
those who avoid the greater crimes and shameful deeds,
and, when they are angry even then forgive.’
Qur’\n, ash-Sh[r\ 42:36-37
‘Race for forgiveness from your Lord,
and for a Garden whose width is that of the heavens and earth,
prepared for the righteous.
