PRAYER FOR THE SICK

914

“When anyone complained to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, of pain or suffered from a boil or an injury he would touch the earth with his forefinger, then raise it and say, ‘In the Name of Allah, I seek blessing from the dust of our earth which contains the saliva of some of us whereby our sick are healed by the order of Allah.’"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Lady Ayesha, wife of the Prophet, Mother of Believers, may Allah be pleased with her, who related this.
