“Pray to Allah to heal me.” He said: “If
you
wish to store your reward for the Hereafter, that is better, or
if you
wish, I will supplicate for you.” He said: “Supplicate.”
So he told
him to perform ablution and do it well, and to pray two
Rak’ah, and to
say this supplication: “Allahumma inni as’aluka
wa atawajjahu ilaika
bimuhammadin nabiyyir-rahmah. Ya Muhammadu inni
qad tawajjahtu bika
ila rabbi fi hajati hadhihi lituqda. Allahumma
fashaffi’hu fiya (O
Allah, I ask of You and I turn my face towards
You by virtue of the
intercession of Muhammad the Prophet of mercy. O
Muhammad, I have
turned to my Lord by virtue of your intercession
concerning this need
of mine so that it may be met. O Allah, accept
his intercession
concerning me)”.
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 583
