ON THE SUBJECT OF 145 HOW TO PRAY FOR THE SICK PRAYER FOR THE SICK H H 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.'" R 914 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to the Mother of Believers, Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, who related this.
باب مَا يُدعى به للمريض 901- عن عائشة رضي الله عنها : أنَّ النَّبيَّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، كَانَ إِذَا اشْتَكى الإنْسَانُ الشَّيْءَ مِنْهُ ، أَوْ كَانَتْ بِهِ قَرْحَةٌ أَوْ جُرْحٌ ، قَالَ النَّبيُّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم بِأُصْبُعِهِ هكَذا - وَوَضَعَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَة الرَّاوي سَبَّابَتَهُ بِالأَرْضِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَها - وقال : "بِسمِ اللهِ ، تُرْبَةُ أرْضِنَا ، بِرِيقَةِ بَعْضِنَا ، يُشْفَى بِهِ سَقِيمُنَا ، بإذْنِ رَبِّنَا" متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ .
