Early Muslim medicine

Prophetic Medicine

Prophetic Medicine (al-tibb) was a genre of medical writing intended as an
alternative to the Greek-based medical system (See:Galen). Its authors were
(usually) clerics, rather than physicians. They were known to have advocated
the traditional medical practices of Prophet Muhammad's time (those
mentioned in the Qur'an). Al-tibb therapy did not require the undergoing of
any surgical procedures.

The Comprehensive Book of Medicine (Large Comprehensive, Hawi)

Written by the Iranian alchemist Rhazes, The "Large Comprehensive" was the
most sought after of all his compositions. In it, Rhazes recorded clinical
cases of his own experience and provided very useful recordings of various
diseases. The "Kitab fi al-jadari wa-al-hasbah", with its introduction on
measles and smallpox was also very influential in Europe.
