Tips from Prophet Muhammad SAW if part of the body hurts
Prophet Muhammad (illustration)
-- The Prophet Muhammad SAW showed how to heal a painful part of the body suffered by a Muslim. This method is stated in several hadith histories from Uthman bin Abi Al 'Ash Al Tsaqofi.
This guidance not only shows the Prophet SAW's concern for the health of his people, but also teaches the importance of connecting healing efforts with prayer and trust in Allah SWT. This healing method taught by the Prophet Muhammad SAW emphasizes that healing is not only through medical efforts, but also with a spiritual approach.
The prayer that is read contains a request for protection from Allah from all the evil that is felt, showing how important faith and prayer are in the healing process.
In the book Al Jami' Al Shagir, there is a history of hadith narrated by As Suyuthi. Here's the hadith:
- ضَع يمينَكَ عَلى المَكانِ الَّذي تُشتَكي فامسَحْ بِها سبعَ مرَّاتٍ وقُل أعوذُ بعزَّةِ اللَّه في كلِّ مَسحَةٍ
Place your hand on the affected area or part, rub seven times, then say:
'أَعُوذُ باللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِن شَرِّ ما أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ
Other hadiths also explain this method. This hadith was narrated from the same narrator, namely Uthman bin Abi Al 'Ash Al Tsaqofi, and issued by Muslim in his book, Sahih Muslim.
Here is the complete hadith:
أنَّهُ شَكَا إلى رَسولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلient للهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلَّمَ: ضَ forward سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ: أَعُوذُ باللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِن شَرِّما أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ.
The narrator complained to Rasulullah PBUH about the pain he felt in his body since converting to Islam. Then Rasulullah SAW said to him, "Place your hand on the painful part of your body, then say Bismillah three times, then say the following sentence seven times:
أَعُوذُ باللَّهْ
Meaning: "I ask for protection from Allah SWT and His power from the suffering that I feel and worry about."
The Sunnah of the Prophet SAW which contains about healing illness seems to be being forgotten by many Muslims. This sunnah should be repeated for those who experience similar situations. Moreover, the hadith is an authentic hadith.
