Cure

And when I am ill, then He cures me, [Al-Quran 26:80] 

Disease & Cure - II 

The triliteral root  shīn fā yā (ش ف ي) for cure/healing occurs six times: twice as a verb and four times as a noun.

The verb form occurs twice to inform us that it is Allah who cures diseases:

أَلَا تُقَاتِلُونَ قَوْمًا نَّكَثُوا أَيْمَانَهُمْ وَهَمُّوا بِإِخْرَاجِ الرَّسُولِ وَهُم بَدَءُوكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ أَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْ فَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَوْهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

  قَاتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللَّهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Will not you fight a people who broke their oaths and determined to drive out the Messenger and they began (to attack) you first time? Do you fear them? But Allah (has) more right that you should fear Him, if you are believers. 

Fight them - Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them, and will heal (the) breasts (of) a people (who are) believers.

[Al-Quran 9:13-14]   

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ

And when I am ill, then He cures me,

[Al-Quran 26:80]

Al-Quran

Three nouns (Q10:57, Q17:82 and Q41:44) inform us that the Quran is a healing for the believers:

   يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَشِفَاءٌ لِّمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

O mankind! Verily has come to you an instruction from your Lord, and a healing for what (is) in your breasts, and guidance and mercy for the believers.

[Al-Quran 10:57]

   وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا

And We reveal from the Quran that it (is) a healing and a mercy for the believers, but not it increases the wrongdoers except (in) loss.

[Al-Quran 17:82]

   وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا أَعْجَمِيًّا لَّقَالُوا لَوْلَا فُصِّلَتْ آيَاتُهُ أَأَعْجَمِيٌّ وَعَرَبِيٌّ 

قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَاءٌ 

وَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًى أُولَٰئِكَ يُنَادَوْنَ مِن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ

And if We (had) made it a Quran (in) a foreign (language), they (would have) said, "Why not are explained in detail its verses? (Is it) a foreign (language) and an Arab?" Say, "It (is) for those who believe, a guidance and a healing." And those who (do) not believe, in their ears (is) deafness, and it (is) for them blindness. Those are being called from a place far."

[Al-Quran 41:44]

Honey

The Quran informs us that there is healing in honey for mankind:

Honey is available all over the world.

However, this should not be taken to mean that honey is the only substance that cures, and should be prescribed for all diseases. The Quran narrates some specific cases and each one is differently handled.
