Hadith 3522

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ , حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ , حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُصَيْفَةَ , عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ , عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ , عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ الثَّقَفِيِّ , أَنَّهُ قَالَ : قَدِمْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبِي وَجَعٌ قَدْ كَادَ يُبْطِلُنِي , فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اجْعَلْ يَدَكَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَيْهِ , وَقُلْ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ , أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ " , سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ , فَقُلْتُ ذَلِكَ : فَشَفَانِيَ اللَّهُ .
´It was narrated that ‘Uthman bin Abul-‘As Thaqafi said:` “I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and I was suffering pain that was killing me. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me: ‘Put your right hand on it and say: Bismillah, a’udhu bi’izzatil-lahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhiru. (In the Name of Allah, I seek refuge in the might and power of Allah from the evil of what I feel and what I fear),” seven times.’ I said that, and Allah healed me.”
