Abstract :
Some are of the opinion that religion has exclusive involvement in the field of medicine and the only way to reach medical knowledge and treatment of patients is revelation. foundation of Islamic medicine is the noble verses of the Qur'an and hadiths. The imams are a guide, and even to advance their point of view, they have relied on the rule of tolerance in referring to weak hadiths.This writing is based on the documentary-library method, while examining some useful sources in Islamic medicine such Towhid-e-Mofaddal, Al-Risalah al-Dhahabiah and some medical hadiths found in the book of Usul Al -Kafi; based on their historical course; The research has analyzed the mentioned point of view. As a result, although logical induction is not reliable, especially if it is not complete; But due to the fact that most of the sources are facing weak document or content; This partially correct case shows that establishing a scientific foundation with the title of Islamic medicine by relying only on verses and hadiths is not a proper and logical thing and may lead to the disasters of scientific interpretation. Because establishing the solid foundations of religion based on weak hadiths and issues; It inevitably leads to the weakness and weakness of religion and becomes a factor for the apostasy of people who have not found health due to fake hadiths.
