8 supplications

Visiting the sick, pain, the terminally ill, and the evil eye.

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم:

Ali Ibn Abee Talib related that he heard the Messenger of Allah say:

إِذَا عَادَ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ مَشَى فِي خِرَافَةِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَجْلِسَ، فَإِذَا جَلَسَ غَمَرَتْهُ الرَّحْمَةُ، فَإِنْ كَانَ غُدْوَةً صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مَسَاءً صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ

‘If a man calls on his sick Muslim brother, it is as if he walks reaping the fruits of Paradise until he sits, and when he sits he is showered in mercy, and if this was in the morning, seventy thousand angles send prayers upon him until the evening, and if this was in the evening, seventy thousand angles send prayers upon him until the morning.

جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ يُدْخِلُ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْمَاءِ فَيَمْسَحُ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ، وَيَقُولُ:

'Aa.ishah radhi-yAllaahu'anhaa related that The Prophet sal-Allaahu'alayhe wa sallam [during his illness in which he passed away] would dip his hands in water and then he would wipe his face and say:

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ إِنَّ لِلْمَوْتِ سَكَرَاتٍ

Lā ilāha illā llāhu inna lilmawti sakarāt

‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, death does indeed contain agony.’

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ المُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

Lā ilāha illā llāhu wa-llāhu akbaru, lā ilāha illā llāhu waḥdahu, lā ilāha illā llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, lā ilāha illā llāhu lahu l-mulku walahu l-ḥamdu, lā ilāha illā llāhu walā ḥawla walā quwwata illā bi-llāh

None has the right to be worshipped except Allah and Allah is the greatest. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, to Him belongs all sovereignty and praise. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah and there is no might and no power except with Allah.

ضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى الَّذِي تَألَّمَ مِنْ جَسَدِكَ وَقُلْ:

Place your hand on the part of your body that hurts and say:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ

Repeat 3x

Bismi llāh

In the name of Allah.

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ

Repeat 7x

Aʿūdhu bi-llāhi wa qudratihi min sharri mā ajidu wa uḥādhir

I seek refuge in Allah and His power from the evil of what I feel and fear.

إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُم مِنْ أَخِيهِ، أَوْ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، أَوْ مِنْ مَالِهِ مَا يُعْجِبُهُ [فَلْيَدْعُ لَهُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ] فَإِنَّ الْعَيْنَ حَقٌّ

If you see anything of your brother that pleases you, or of his person or of his property [then ask Allah to bless him in it] for the envious eye is real.
