Source & Authentication
Narrated by 'Uthman ibn Abi al-'As al-Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him): He complained to Allah's Messenger ﷺ about a pain he felt in his body since he had become Muslim. So, Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: 'Place your hand on the part of your body where you feel pain and say: Bismillahi (In the name of Allah) - three times; and say: A'udhu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhiru (I seek refuge in Allah and His Power from the evil of what I find and what I guard against) - seven times.'
