It was narrated from ‘Uthman ibn Abi’l-‘As that he complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about a pain in his body that he had suffered from the time he became Muslim.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him: “Put your hand on the part of the body that hurts and say Bismillah (in the name of Allah) three times. And say seven times: A’udhu Billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhir (I seek refuge in Allah and His power from the evil of what I feel and worry about).”
(Narrated by Muslim, 2202)
According to Sheikh ibn Uthaimeen, when you’re in pain, try this:
- Put your hand on the painful area.
- Say: “(in the name of Allah) three times. And say seven times: A’udhu Billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhir (I seek refuge in Allah and His power from the evil of what I feel and worry about).
If you say this with conviction, believing it will help, the pain will lessen by Allah’s will. This dua is more effective than medicine! You’re seeking help from the One who controls everything, sent the illness, and can cure it.
The dua means:
- “I seek refuge in Allah’s honor and power” – You’re seeking protection and shelter in Allah’s might.
- “From what I feel and fear” – You’re seeking protection from current and future pain, sorrow, and fear.
This dua helps with all kinds of bodily pain. Try it with faith, and Allah may bring you relief!

Dua
You should also recite al-Fatihah and al-Mu`awwidhat, and in the whole Quran there is healing.
It was narrated from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that some of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to one of the Arab tribes. They asked them for hospitality but they refused to welcome them.
Whilst they were like that, the chief of that tribe was stung. They said: ‘Do you have any remedy or someone who can recite ruqyah?’ They said: ‘You did not offer us hospitality, so we will not do anything until you give us something in return.’
Then they agreed upon a flock of sheep. Then he started to recite the Essence of the Quran – i.e., Surat al-Fatihah – and he collected his saliva and spat at him (at the site of the injury), and he recovered. The sheep were brought and they (the Companions) said: We will not take them until we ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
So they asked him and he smiled and said: “How did you know that it is a ruqyah? Take them and give me a share of them.”(Narrated by al-Bukhari, 5404; Muslim, 2201)
It was narrated from ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite al-muawwidhat and blow over himself during his final illness, and when he became too ill (to do that), I used to recite them and blow over him and wipe his hand on him for blessing. Muammar said: I asked al-Zuhri how he used to blow and he said: He used to blow on his hands then wipe his face with them.(Narrated by al-Bukhari, 5403; Muslim, 2192)
