Hazrat Sha’bi narrates that Hazrat Umar went out to supplicate for rain and ascended the pulpit and recited these verses: Seek forgiveness from your Lord, surely He is Most Forgiving, He will send down upon you abundant rain from the sky, and will grant you wealth and children, and will provide for you gardens and will cause rivers to flow for you, and seek forgiveness from your Lord. Then he descended from the pulpit. So it was said to him: O Commander of the Faithful! If only you had also asked for rain. He replied: Indeed, I have sought water through the means by which drops of water are sent down from the sky.

Hazrat Abu Marwan, on the authority of his father, narrates that we went out with Hazrat Umar bin Khattab to pray for rain, and he did not do more than seeking forgiveness (he did not make any supplication other than seeking forgiveness).

Hazrat Abu Sadiq Al-Naji narrates that Hazrat Sulaiman bin Dawood went out with the people to pray for rain. On the way, they passed by an ant that was lying on its back, with its legs raised towards the sky, and it was supplicating: "O Allah! We too are one of Your creations. We are not at all independent of Your sustenance. Either grant us water or destroy us." So Hazrat Sulaiman said to the people: "Return! You have been given water by the supplication of another."

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ruqyah (spiritual healing) with these words: "Lord of the people, remove the suffering. Grant healing, for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, a healing that leaves behind no illness." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: When the illness of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intensified—the illness in which he passed away—I would hold his hand, and I would pass his hand over his own body and recite this supplication. She says: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) withdrew his hand from my hand and recited this supplication: "O Allah! Forgive me. Join me with the Highest Companion." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: This was the last thing I heard from the speech of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

The previous narration of Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) is also reported with this chain of transmission, but in this chain, the word "Falamma thaqula" does not appear.

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that indeed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate for the sick in this way: "O Lord of the people! Remove the suffering. Grant healing, for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing. Grant such a healing that no illness remains." Hazrat Sufyan says that I mentioned this hadith before Hazrat Mansur, so he also narrated this hadith with the aforementioned chain of transmission.

31465 - Sufyan said: I mentioned it to Mansur, and he narrated to me from Ibrahim, from Masruq, from Aisha, from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم with the like of it (1).

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would visit a sick person, he would recite this supplication: "Lord of the people! Remove the suffering. Grant healing, for You are the Healer. There is no healer except You."

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would place his blessed saliva on his finger and pray for the sick in this way: In the name of Allah, with the soil of our land and with the saliva of some of us, may our patient be cured by the permission of our Lord.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered upon me while I was suffering. Then he said: Shall I not blow upon you with a ruqyah with the blowing that Jibreel taught me? With the name of Allah, I blow upon you, and may Allah grant you shifa from every organ that afflicts you, and from the evil of the blowers on knots, and from the evil of the envier when he envies.
