Illness & Cure
For the sick — place the right hand on the pain
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ أَذْهِبِ الْبَاسَ اشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا
Allahumma Rabban-naas, adhhibil-ba's, wash-fi antash-shaafee, laa shifaa'a illaa shifaa'uka, shifaa'an laa yughaadiru saqamaa
O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the affliction. Cure — for You are the Healer. There is no cure but Yours; a cure that leaves no illness behind.
— Sahih Bukhari 5675
For the sick — recite seven times
أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكَ
As-alullahal-'adheema rabbal-'arshil-'adheemi an yashfiyak
I ask Allah the Supreme, Lord of the Magnificent Throne, to cure you.
— Abu Dawud 3106
Comforting the sick
لَا بَأْسَ طَهُورٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Laa ba'sa tahoorun in sha'allaah
No harm — it is a purification, if Allah wills.
— Sahih Bukhari 3616
