The phrase mentioned, "Whoever seeks healing with other than the Qur’an, may Allah not heal him," is a fabricated . Al-Albani cited it in "Silsilah al-Da'ifah" (The Chain of Weak Narrations), and it also appeared in Al-San'ani's "Mawdu'at" (Fabricated Narrations) and "Tadhkirat al-Mawdu'at" (A Reminder of Fabricated Narrations). Its attribution to the Prophet, peace be upon him, is not authentic, and it contradicts the clear commands to seek medical treatment. Therefore, it is a lie attributed to the Prophet, peace be upon him.
