Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31474 — The supplication for a sick person

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was in pain, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while I was supplicating thus: O Allah, if my death has come, then give me rest through death; if my death is still delayed, then heal me or grant me well-being; and if it is a trial, then bless me with patience. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What are you reciting? Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I recited those words before him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his blessed hand over me and then made this supplication: O Allah, heal him or grant him well-being. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I never suffered from that pain again.
