Dua for Healing (6)

An ailed person is recommended to purchase one sa`([1]) of wheat, lie on his back, disperse the wheat grains on his chest, and say the following supplicatory prayer:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِٱسْمِكَ

allahumma inni as'aluka bismika

O Allah, I beseech You in the name of Your Name—

ٱلَّذِي إِذَا سَأَلَكَ بِهِ ٱلْمُضْطَرُّ كَشَفْتَ مَا بِهِ مِنْ ضُرٍّ

alladhi idha sa'alaka bihi almudtarra kashafta ma bihi min durrin

if the distressed asks You by Your Name, You shall remove whatever harm he suffers,

وَمَكَّنْتَ لَهُ فِي ٱلأَرْضِ

wa makkanta lahu fi al-ardi

give him power in the land,

وَجَعَلْتَهُ خَلِيفَتَكَ عَلَىٰ خَلْقِكَ

wa ja`altahu khalifataka `ala khalqika

and make him Your representative among Your creatures

أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ

an tusalliya `ala muhammadin wa `ala ahli baytihi

to bless Muhammad and his Household

وَأَنْ تُعَافِيَنِي مِنْ عِلَّتِي

wa an tu`afiyani min `illati

and to cure me of my ailment.
