Quran
وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ أُولَٰئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ
"And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, Who, when disaster strikes them, say, 'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.' Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided."
Surah Al-Baqarah · 2:155-157
Addresses the spiritual response to afflictions including acute illnesses like influenza that cause physical suffering and temporary disability.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
"And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud."
Surah Al-Hijr · 15:26
Classical scholars referenced this verse when discussing the humoral imbalance in febrile illnesses, where the body's temperament shifts toward excessive heat and moisture, resembling the corrupt mud mentioned.
Sahih Hadith
لِكُلِّ دَاءٍ دَوَاءٌ فَإِذَا أُصِيبَ دَوَاءُ الدَّاءِ بَرَأَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
"For every disease there is a cure. So if the medicine comes upon the disease it cures it by the permission of Allah, the Most High."
This hadith is particularly cited in classical texts when discussing acute epidemic fevers (humma waba'iyya) like influenza that require prompt identification and treatment.
الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَأَبْرِدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ
"Fever is from the heat of Hell, so cool it with water."
Directly addresses the management of fever, the cardinal symptom of influenza, recommending water application for cooling.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ دَاءً إِلاَّ أَنْزَلَ لَهُ شِفَاءً
"Allah has not sent down a disease except that He has sent down its cure."
Classical physicians cited this when treating seasonal epidemic fevers, emphasizing the search for specific remedies for acute viral illnesses.
