Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to perform ruqyah (spiritual healing) with these words: "O Allah! Lord of the people! Remove the disease and cure (him/her), You are the Curer, there is no cure except Your cure, (grant) such a cure that leaves no illness behind." When the illness of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) intensified before his death, I took his hand and began to pass it over him and recite this supplication. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) withdrew his hand from my hand and began to say: "O Allah! Forgive me and join me with the Highest Companion." Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: These were the last words I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
