Kalada aṯ-Ṯaqafī ; † 634-35 / 13 AH ) was one of the earliest known Arab doctors and an acquaintance and contemporary of the Islamic prophet Mohammed . He is said to have influenced Mohammed in his statements, which then led to the collection of prophetic medicine .
Before the emergence of Islam he is said to have been in contact with the Persian Academy of Gundischapur , perhaps even to have studied there. The sources document a conversation about medical matters with Khosrau I. Anuschirwan.
