Short Description
Although the Prophet exhorted Muslims to seek medication, he stressed that of the most important means of seeking medication is to invoke Allah to cure us. Thus, it was his sunnah on visiting a sick to invoke Allah to cure him. This supplication has many different wordings, in this respect, Imam Bukhari related on the authority of `Aishah that when the Prophet (PBUH) visited any ailing member of his family, he would touch the sick person with his right hand and would supplicate: "Allahumma Rabban-nasi, adhhibil-ba'sa, washfi, Antash-Shafi, la shifa'a illa shifa'uka, shifaan la yughadiru saqaman [O Allah! the Rubb of mankind! Remove this disease and cure (him or her)! You are the Great Curer. There is no cure but through You, which leaves behind no disease].'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He who visits a sick person who is not on the point of death and supplicates seven times: As'alullahal-`Azima Rabbal-`Arshil-`Azimi, an yashfiyaka (I beseech Allah the Great, the Rubb of the Great Throne, to heal you), Allah will certainly heal him from that sickness.'' [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) visited me during my illness and supplicated, "O Allah! Cure Sa'd. O Allah! Cure Sa'd. O' Allah! Cure Sa'd." [Muslim].
These supplications not only are causes to recovery of the sick, however, they may be reason for the pleasure of the sick.
