Allahumma afini fi badani, Allahumma afini fi sam’i, Allahumma afini fi basari
O Allah, grant wellbeing to my body. O Allah, grant wellbeing to my hearing. O Allah, grant wellbeing to my sight.
Reported Context & Reflection: Abū Bakra reported that his father said these words three times each morning and evening; when asked, he said he had heard the Prophet ﷺ pray this way and wished to follow him.
Adhhibil-ba’sa Rabban-nas, ishfi anta-sh-Shafi, la shifa’a illa shifa’uk, shifa’an la yughadiru saqama
Take away the harm, Lord of mankind. Heal — You are the Healer. There is no cure but Your cure: a cure that leaves no illness behind.
Reported Context & Reflection: ʿĀʾisha reported: when the Prophet ﷺ visited someone ill, he would pass his right hand over the place and say these words. She later said them over him in his final illness — though, as she notes, his hand was more blessed than hers.
📚 Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Kitāb aṭ-Ṭibb (von ʿĀʾisha) · an-Nawawī, al-Adhkār — Kapitel: Das Bittgebet für den Kranken
When Visiting the Sick
Sahih (Authentic)
لَا بَأْسَ طَهُورٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
La ba’sa, tahurun in sha’Allah
No harm — it is a purification, if Allah wills.
Reported Context & Reflection: The Prophet ﷺ visited a bedouin with a fever and said this sentence. The man replied: “A purification? No — it is a fever boiling over an old man until it sends him to the graves.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Then so be it.”
📚 Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Kitāb al-Marḍā (von Ibn ʿAbbās) · an-Nawawī, al-Adhkār — Kapitel: Was man zum Kranken sagt
As’alullahal-Azima Rabbal-Arshil-Azimi an yashfiyak
I ask Allah the Immense, Lord of the mighty Throne, to heal you.
Reported Virtue: The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever visits a sick person whose term has not yet come and says this seven times in his presence, Allah will cure him of that illness.
📚 Sunan at-Tirmidhī & Sunan Abī Dāwūd (von Ibn ʿAbbās) · an-Nawawī, al-Adhkār — Kapitel: Das Bittgebet für den Kranken
Bismillah (3x) — A’udhu bi-izzatillahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhir (7x)
In the name of Allah (three times). I seek refuge in the might of Allah and His power from the evil of what I feel and what I fear (seven times).
Reported Context & Reflection: ʿUthmān ibn Abī l-ʿĀṣ complained to the Prophet ﷺ of a pain that had troubled him since he became Muslim. The Prophet ﷺ said: place your hand on the part of your body that hurts, say “Bismillāh” three times and the formula of refuge seven times. ʿUthmān said: I did so, and Allah removed what I had. And I have been telling my family and others to do it ever since.
📚 Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2202, Kitāb as-Salām (von ʿUthmān ibn Abī l-ʿĀṣ) · an-Nawawī, al-Adhkār — Kapitel: Was man bei Schmerzen sagt
Bismillahi arqik, min kulli shay’in yu’dhik, min sharri kulli nafsin aw aynin hasid, Allahu yashfik, bismillahi arqik
In the name of Allah I recite over you — against everything that harms you, against the evil of every soul or envious eye. May Allah heal you. In the name of Allah I recite over you.
Reported Context & Reflection: Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī reported: Jibrīl came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Muḥammad, are you in pain? He said: yes. So Jibrīl recited these words over him. One recites it over another; for oneself one says “arqī nafsī” and “Allāhu yashfīnī”.
Harm has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.
Reported Context & Reflection: After years of loss — property, children, health — his entire request consists of one statement and one name of Allah. No “take it away”, no “why”. The Qurʾān calls him in the same breath “an excellent servant; indeed, he was one who turned back.”
📚 Koran, Sūrat al-Anbiyāʾ 21:83
