The wife of the Prophet ﷺ, 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrated that when someone complained to the Prophet ﷺ about a wound or a burn, he would say, > **Arabic:** بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، تُرْبَةُ أَرْضِنَا، بِرِيقَةِ بَعْضِنَا، يُشْفَى سَقِيمُنَا، بِإِذْنِ رَبِّنَا. > **Translation:** 'In the name of Allah, the soil of our land, mixed with the saliva of some of us, will cure our sick by the permission of our Lord.' In another narration, it is mentioned that Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to treat the injured with this dua, while saying: 'This is the saliva of some of us, and the soil of our land.' (Sahih Muslim 2194). This indicates the practical application of seeking Allah's cure.
