اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مَدِينَتِنَا، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِنَا وَمُدِّنَا، وَصَحِّحْهُ لَنَا، وَانْقُلْهُ إِلَى الْجُحْفَةِ

O Allah, bless our Madinah for us, and bless for us our measure and our weight (i.e. provisions), and make it healthy for us, and move it to Al-Juhfah.

The request to make it 'healthy' points to a desire for well-being and freedom from disease.
