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).
