Sickness
Sahih HadithSunan Abi Dawud 5088

اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَدَنِي، اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي سَمْعِي، اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالْفَقْرِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

O Allah, grant me well-being in my body. O Allah, grant me well-being in my hearing. O Allah, grant me well-being in my sight. There is no god but You. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave. There is no god but You.

Allahumma 'afini fi badani, Allahumma 'afini fi sam'i, Allahumma 'afini fi basari, la ilaha illa anta. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-kufri wal-faqri. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhabil-qabri, la ilaha illa anta.

When to Read

This powerful dua is perfect for reciting every morning and evening. It's particularly relevant when feeling unwell, experiencing aches, or concerned about the general health of your body, including your bones. It's a comprehensive plea for overall well-being and protection from various afflictions.

How to Read

Recite this dua with sincere intention and conviction, focusing on each phrase. It's recommended to raise your hands slightly, as is the etiquette for supplication, though this is not obligatory. Repeat it three times in the morning and three times in the evening for maximum benefit, as is the practice of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ with similar duas.

Virtues & Benefits

This dua encompasses a profound request for health, protection, and refuge. By asking Allah for 'afiyah' (well-being) in one's body, hearing, and sight, we are essentially asking for the optimal functioning of these vital aspects, which includes the strength and integrity of our bones. Seeking refuge from disbelief and poverty addresses spiritual and material hardships, while seeking refuge from the punishment of the grave is a protection for the hereafter. It's a comprehensive supplication for this life and the next, ensuring that our physical well-being, including our bones, is a part of Allah's care.

Source & Authentication

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to supplicate in the following words: 'O Allah, grant me well-being in my body. O Allah, grant me well-being in my hearing. O Allah, grant me well-being in my sight. There is no god but You. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave. There is no god but You.' He would repeat these words three times in the morning and three times in the evening. (Sunan Abi Dawud 5088, Sahih)
