Dua for Illness & the Sick

No harm, it will be a purification, if Allah wills.

O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the affliction. Heal, for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, a healing that leaves no illness behind.

(Never mind, may it (the sickness) be a purification, if Allah wills.)

(Ali Ibn Abee Talib related that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: ‘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.)

‘O Allaah, forgive me, have mercy upon me and unite me with the highest companions

i.e. those around the sick should instruct and encourage him to say the shahadah. (He whose last words are: (None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.) will enter Paradise.)

(Verily to Allah, belongs what He took and to Him belongs what He gave, and everything with Him has an appointed time…and then he ordered for her to be patient and hope for Allah’s reward.)(The words (faltasbir waltahtasib) are commands in the feminine 3rd person form, so they will need to be changed in respect to whom is being addressed.)

(In the name of Allah and upon the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah.)

O Allah, forgive him. O Allah, strengthen him

(Peace be upon you all, O inhabitants of the graves, amongst the believers and the Muslims. Verily we will, Allah willing, be united with you, we ask Allah for well-being for us and you.)

(Place your hand at the site of the pain and say: (In the name of Allah(three times)) the supplicate seven times: (I take refuge in Allah and within His omnipotence from the evil that I feel and am wary of.))
