ailed, may say the following prayer in the second prostration of the
first two units of the Night Prayer:
يَا عَلِيُّ يَا عَظِيمُ
y¡ `aliyyu y¡ `¨¢mu
O Most High! O All-great!
يَا رَحْمٰنُ يَا رَحِيمُ
y¡ra¦m¡nu y¡ra¦¢mu
O All-beneficent! O All-merciful!
يَا سَمِيعَ ٱلدَّعَوَاتِ
y¡sam¢`a aldda`aw¡ti
O Hearer of all prayers!
يَا مُعْطِيَ ٱلْخَيْرَاتِ
y¡mu`§iya alkhayr¡ti
O Giver of the good things!
صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡lih¢
(Please) bless Mu¦ammad and his Household,
وَاعْطِنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ مَا انْتَ اهْلُهُ
wa a`§in¢ min khayri aldduny¡wal-¡khirati m¡anta ahluh£
give me from the good of this world and the Next World in the amount
that fits You,
وَٱصْرِفْ عَنِّي مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ مَا انْتَ اهْلُهُ
wa¥rif `ann¢ min sharri aldduny¡wal-¡khirati m¡anta ahluh£
dispel from me the evils of this world and the Next World in the way
that fits You,
وَاذْهِبْ عَنِّي هٰذَا ٱلْوَجَعَ…
wa adhhib `ann¢ h¡dh¡alwaja`a…
and remove from me this ailment…
The disease or ailment may be now mentioned…
فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ غَاظَنِي وَاحْزَنَنِي
fa'innah£ qad gh¡¨an¢ wa a¦zanan¢
for it has enraged and depressed me.
It is recommended to supplicate earnestly, because the more earnest
the sooner in response.
Quoted from`Uddat al-D¡`¢, Imam al-¯¡diq (`a) is reported to have said:
When you are ailed, go outdoors, raise your hands towards the sky, and
say the following prayer:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَيَّرْتَ اقْوَاماً فِي كِتَابِكَ
all¡humma innaka `ayyarta aqw¡man f¢ kit¡bika
O Allah! Having rebuked some people in Your Book,
فَقُلْتَ: ﴿قُلِ ٱدْعُوٱ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ
faqulta qul id`£ alladh¢na za`amtum min d£nih¢
You said, "Say, 'Call on those whom you assert besides Him.
فَلاَ يَمْلِكُونَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَلاَ تَحْوِيلاًَ﴾
fal¡yamlik£na kashfa al¤¤urri `ankum wa l¡ta¦w¢lan
They shall not control the removal of distress from you nor its transference.'"
فَيَا مَنْ لاَ يَمْلِكُ كَشْفَ ضُرِّي وَلاَ تَحْوِيلَهُ عَنِّي احَدٌ غَيْرُهُ
fay¡man l¡yamliku kashfa ¤urr¢ wa l¡ta¦w¢lah£ `ann¢ a¦adun ghayruh£
O He save Whom no one controls the removal of distress nor its transference,
صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡lih¢
(please) bless Mu¦ammad and his Household,
وَٱكْشِفْ ضُرِّي
wakshif ¤urr¢
remove my distress,
وَحَوِّلْهُ إِلَىٰ مَنْ يَدْعُو مَعَكَ إِلٰهاً آخَرَ
wa ¦awwilhu il¡man yad`£ ma`aka il¡han ¡khara
and transfer it to one who calls on another deity besides You,
فَإِنِّي اشْهَدُ انْ لاَ إِلٰهَ غَيْرُكَ
fa'inn¢ ashhadu an l¡il¡ha ghayruka
for I bear witness that there is no god save You.
It is also reported that any believer who is diseased or ailed, should
rub the ailed organ with his hand and repeat the following (holy
verse) with sincerity:
وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
wa nunazzilu min alqur'¡ni m¡huwa shif¡'un wa ra¦matun lilmu'min¢na
"[And] We reveal of the Qur'¡n that which is a healing and a mercy for believers
وَلاَ يَزِيدُ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ إِلاََّ خَسَاراً.
wa l¡yaz¢du al¨¨¡lim¢na ill¡khas¡ran
though it increase the evil-doers in naught save ruin."
If he does, he will be restored to health no matter what his disease
would be. Confirming this, the holy verse corroborates that it carries
healing and mercy to the believers.
An ailed person is recommended to purchase one ¥¡`( [1])of wheat, lie
on his back, disperse the wheat grains on his chest, and say the
following prayer:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اسْالُكَ بِٱسْمِكَ
all¡humma inn¢ as'aluka bismika
O Allah, I beseech You in the name of Your Name—
ٱلَّذِي إِذَا سَالَكَ بِهِ ٱلْمُضْطَرُّ كَشَفْتَ مَا بِهِ مِنْ ضُرٍّ
alladh¢ idh¡sa'alaka bih¢ almu¤§arra kashafta m¡bih¢ min ¤urrin
if the distressed asks You by Your Name, You shall remove whatever
harm he suffers,
وَمَكَّنْتَ لَهُ فِي ٱلارْضِ
wa makkanta lah£ f¢ al-ar¤i
give him power in the land,
وَجَعَلْتَهُ خَلِيفَتَكَ عَلَىٰ خَلْقِكَ
wa ja`altah£ khal¢fataka `al¡khalqika
and make him Your representative among Your creatures
انْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ اهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
an tu¥alliya `al¡mu¦ammadin wa `al¡ahli baytih¢
to bless Mu¦ammad and his Household
وَانْ تُعَافِيَنِي مِنْ عِلَّتِي
wa an tu`¡fiyan¢ min `illat¢
and to cure me of my ailment.
He may then sit, gather the wheat grains around him, repeat the same
prayer, divide the wheat grains into four shares, give each share to a
poor man, and repeat the same prayer. Once an ailed person does all
that, he will be restored to health, Allah willing.
Imam `Al¢ (`a) is reported to have said: Put your hand on the ailed
organ and repeat the following prayer three times:
اللَّهُ اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي حَقّاً
all¡hu all¡hu all¡hu rabb¢ ¦aqqan
Allah, Allah, Allah is my Lord indeed.
لاَ اشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً
l¡ushriku bih¢ shay'an
I do not associate with Him anything.
اللَّهُمَّ انْتَ لَهَا وَلِكُلِّ عَظِيمَةٍ فَفَرِّجْهَا
all¡humma anta lah¡wa likulli `a¨¢matin fafarrijh¡
O Allah, You are the only besought for this and for every terrible
thing; so (please) relieve it.
Imam al-¯¡diq (`a) is reported to have said in this regard: You may
put your hand on the ailed organ and say:
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ
bismill¡hi
In the Name of Allah.
You may then rub the ailed organ with your hand and repeat the
following evil-repelling prayer (`£dhah) seven times:
اعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ ٱللَّهِ
a`£dhu bi`izzati all¡hi
I pray for the protection of Allah's almightiness,
وَاعُوذُ بِقُدْرَةِ ٱللَّهِ
wa a`£dhu biqudrati all¡hi
I pray for the protection of Allah's omnipotence,
وَاعُوذُ بِجَلاَلِ ٱللَّهِ
wa a`£dhu bijal¡li all¡hi

I pray for the protection of Allah's wholeness,
وَاعُوذُ بِرَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ
wa a`£dhu biras£li all¡hi ¥all¡all¡hu `alayhi wa ¡lih¢
I pray for the protection of Allah's Messenger, may Allah's blessings
be upon him and his Household,
وَاعُوذُ بِاسْمَاءِ ٱللَّهِ
wa a`£dhu bi-asm¡'i all¡hi
and I pray for the protection of Allah's Names
مِنْ شَرِّ مَا احْذَرُ
min sharri m¡a¦dharu
against the evil of what I concern
وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا اخَافُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِي
wa min sharri m¡akh¡fu `al¡nafs¢
and the evil of what I fear for myself.
It is reported that when a child is ailed, the mother may ascend to a
roof, throw the head cover away, expose the hair of her head under the
sky, prostrate herself, and say the following supplication:
اللَّهُمَّ رَبِّ انْتَ اعْطَيْتَنِيهِ
all¡humma rabbi anta a`§aytan¢hi
O Allah, O my Lord! It is You Who have given him to me
وَانْتَ وَهَبْتَهُ لِي
wa anta wahabtah£ l¢
and it is You Who have endued me with Him.
اللَّهُمَّ فَٱجْعَلْ هِبَتَكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ جَدِيدَةً
all¡humma faj`al hibataka alyawma jad¢datan
O Allah, so (please) renew Your donation to me on this day.
إِنَّكَ قَادِرٌ مُقْتَدِرٌ
innaka q¡dirun muqtadirun
You are verily all-powerful and omnipotent.
The mother will not raise her head from the prostration but that her
child is restored to health.
Al-Shah¢d, may Allah have mercy upon him, has reported that whoever is
tensely ailed may recite S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah forty times on a glass of
water. He may then pour the water on his body. He may have a measure
of wheat near him and hand over each beggar a measure and ask him to
pray Almighty Allah to cure him. If he does so, he will be restored to
health, Allah willing.
"Medicate your patients with alms." This saying is reported through
considerable chains of authority.
With reference to removal of diseases, al-Shah¢d has also reported
that the right arm of a patient may be held while reciting S£rah
al-F¡ti¦ah seven times. After that, the following prayer may be said:
اللَّهُمَّ ازِلْ عَنْهُ ٱلْعِلَلَ وَٱلدَّاءَ
all¡humma azil `anhu al`ilala waldd¡'a
O Allah, (please) remove ailments and maladies from him,
وَاعِدْهُ إِلَىٰ ٱلصِّحَّةِ وَٱلشِّفَاءِ
wa a`id-hu il¡al¥¥i¦¦ati walshshif¡'i
restore him to health and cure,
وَامِدَّهُ بِحُسْنِ ٱلْوِقَايَةِ
wa amiddah£ bi¦usni alwiq¡yati
supply him with excellent protection,
وَرُدَّهُ إِلَىٰ حُسْنِ ٱلْعَافِيَةِ
wa ruddah£ il¡¦usni al`¡fiyati
return him to excellent wellbeing,
وَٱجْعَلْ مَا نَالَهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ هٰذَا مَادَّةً لِحَيَاتِهِ
waj`al m¡n¡lah£ f¢ mara¤ih¢ h¡dh¡m¡ddatan li¦ay¡tih¢
and cause what has afflicted him in this ailment of him to be material
of his life
وَكَفَّارَةً لِسَيِّئَاتِهِ
wa kaff¡ratan lisayyi'¡tih¢
and remission of his evildoings.
اللَّهُمَّ وَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
all¡humma wa ¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡li mu¦ammadin
O Allah, (please) bless Mu¦ammad and the Household of Mu¦ammad.
If this does not work, S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah may be repeated seventy times,
and it will be effective, Allah willing.
Imam al-B¡qir (`a) is reported to have said, "Whoever is not healed by
S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and S£rah al-Taw¦¢d, nothing else will heal him.
Verily, these two S£rahs cure of all ailments."
Imam al-¯¡diq (`a) is reported to have said: Allah will certainly cure
any ailed believer who says the following verse sincerely while
rubbing his ailed organ with his hand:
وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
wa nunazzilu min alqur'¡ni m¡huwa shif¡'un wa ra¦matun lilmu'min¢na
"[And] We reveal of the Qur'¡n that which is a healing and a mercy for
believers."
Imam al-Ri¤¡ (`a) is reported to have said: For all ailments, you may
say the following prayer:
يَا مُنْزِلَ ٱلشِّفَاءِ وَمُذْهِبَ ٱلدَّاءِ
y¡munzila alshshif¡'i
O revealer of cure and remover of remedy,
صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
wa mudhhiba aldd¡'i
(please) bless Mu¦ammad and his Household
وَانْزِلْ عَلَىٰ وَجَعِي ٱلشِّفَاءَ
¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡lih¢
and reveal cure upon my ailment.
