باب الطِّبِّ وَالْمَرَضِ وَالرُّقَى:Chapter: Medicine, Sickness And Ruqyah
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الصَّوَّافُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ : " اشْتَكَيْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيكَ ، مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُؤْذِيكَ ، مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ أَوْ عَيْنِ حَاسِدٍ ، اللَّهُ يَشْفِيكَ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيكَ " .
Abu Sa'id reported that Gabriel (ؑ) came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Muhammad, have you fallen ill? Thereupon he said: Yes. He ( Gabriel (ؑ)) said: "In the name of Allah I exercise you from everything and safeguard you from every evil that may harm you and from the eye of a jealous one. Allah would cure you and I invoke the name of Allah for you."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
If the patient is asked, he may say,
“I am ill,”
and he can mention the details of his ailment to the physician.
This is not contrary to patience and acceptance (rida), nor is it considered as complaining against Allah.
➋
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was human.
Just as other human conditions befell him, he also experienced illness.
From this, the ummah learned the lesson of patience, turning to Allah, steadfastness, and, while believing in divine decree (qadar), also learned the method of taking appropriate measures (tadbir).
➌
Health and well-being are blessings from Allah; therefore, one should supplicate for them so that, by benefiting from them, one can perform as many righteous deeds as possible.
➍
A person can be affected by another’s envy (hasad) and the evil eye (nazar).
