It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that she was affected by the touch of Satan (epilepsy or madness). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, I will supplicate to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and He will cure you; and if you wish, (be patient with this illness,) and then there will be no reckoning and no punishment for you." The woman said: "O Messenger of Allah, then I will (be patient)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Fadalah bin Ubayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that two men from the people of Iraq came seeking a cure for their father, whose urine had been retained. The people directed them to Fadalah. The two of them came to Fadalah and mentioned their father's ailment, and Fadalah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever among you suffers from something, or whose brother suffers, let him recite this supplication: 'Rabbana alladhi fi al-sama'i taqaddasa ismuka, amruka fi al-sama'i wa al-ard, kama rahmatuka fi al-sama'i wa al-ard, ighfir lana hubana wa khatayana ya Rabba al-tayyibin, anzil shifa'an min shifa'ika wa rahmatan min rahmatika 'ala hadha al-waja'' (Our Lord who is in the heaven, holy is Your name; Your command prevails in the heaven and the earth; just as Your mercy is in the heaven, (send it down) likewise upon the earth. O Lord of the pure, forgive us our sins and our faults; send down a healing from Your healing and a mercy from Your mercy upon this pain), and he will be cured." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a caravan of ten riders. He (peace and blessings be upon him) took the pledge of allegiance from nine of them and held back from one man. They said: "What is the matter with this man that you do not take his pledge?!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is an amulet tied on his upper arm." Then the man cut off the amulet, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took his pledge and then said: "Whoever hangs (an amulet) has committed shirk."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "O Messenger of Allah, Satan comes between me and my prayer and my recitation." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is a devil called 'Khinzab'. When you sense him, seek refuge with Allah from him and spit (three times) to your left." He said: I did so, and Allah removed that (whispering) from me. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Thabit al-Bunani: When you suffer pain, place your hand where it hurts, then say: 'Bismillah, a'udhu bi-'izzatillahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu min waja'i hadha' (In the name of Allah; I seek refuge in the might of Allah and His power from the evil of what I feel from this pain of mine). Then lift your hand and repeat that an odd number of times, for Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed him in this way. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
