Concerning The Supplication Of The Sick

Ali said: “I Was Ill And The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Passed By Me While I Was Saying: ‘O Allah, If My Term Has Come, Then Give Me Relief, And If It Is Coming Later, Then Make My Life More Bountiful, And If It Is A Trial Then Make Me Patient (Allāhumma, In Kāna Ajalī Qad ḤAḍAra Fa AriḥNī, Wa In Kāna Muta’Akh-Khiran Fa Arfighnī, Wa In Kāna Balā’An Fa ṢAbbirnī).’ So The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said: ‘What Did You Say?’” He Said: “So He Repeated To Him What He Said.” He (One Of The Narrators) Said: So He Struck Him With His Foot And Said: “O Allah, Grant Him Health (Allāhumma `Āfihi)” – Or – “Heal Him (Ishfihi).” – Shu`Ba Is The One Who Doubted. He Said: “So I Did Not Suffer From My Ailment Again.”
