Quran
الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
"He who created me, and He guides me; and He who feeds me and gives me drink; and when I am ill, it is He who cures me."
Surah Ash-Shu'ara · 26:78-80
Sahih Hadith
مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ دَاءً إِلاَّ أَنْزَلَ لَهُ شِفَاءً
"There is no disease that Allah has sent down except that He also has sent down its treatment."
Affirms that overuse tendon injuries like lateral epicondylitis have divinely ordained treatments within prophetic and natural medicine.
