Dua for Physical Aches & Pains

عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ الثَّقَفِيِّ، أَنَّهُ شَكَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَجَعًا يَجِدُهُ فِي جَسَدِهِ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ “‏ ضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى الَّذِي تَأَلَّمَ مِنْ جَسَدِكَ وَقُلْ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ ثَلاَثًا ‏.‏ وَقُلْ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ

Sayyiduna Uthman b. Abu al-‘As Al-Thaqafi رضى الله عنه reported that he made a complaint of pain to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he felt in his body since the time he had become Muslim. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Place your hand at the place where you feel pain in your body and say بِاسْمِ الله (in the name of Allah) three times and seven times

أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ

A’udhu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhiru

Trans: I seek refuge with Allah and with His Power from the evil that I find and that I fear).

[Muslim, 2202]
