اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَدَنِي، اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي سَمْعِي، اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي، 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.
Allahumma 'afini fi badani, Allahumma 'afini fi sam'i, Allahumma 'afini fi basari, la ilaha illa anta
When to Read
This powerful dua is particularly relevant when experiencing any discomfort, pain, or vision problems related to the eyes. It's a comprehensive supplication for overall health, but specifically calling out 'basari' (my sight) makes it direct for eye ailments. Recite it during the day or night, especially when you feel the symptoms worsening or when you wake up and notice the blurriness.
How to Read
This is a profound supplication that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us. It's best recited with sincerity and certainty in Allah's ability to heal. You can recite it once or multiple times, especially after your obligatory prayers. Raising your hands is not a condition for this dua, but a sincere heart and focus on the meaning are key. Imagine yourself asking the Creator of all things for the restoration of your sight.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua encompasses seeking health for the entire body ('afini fi badani'), and then specifically for the senses of hearing ('sam'i') and sight ('basari'). By asking for well-being in our sight, we are directly appealing to Allah for the clarity and health of our eyes. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself would often repeat these phrases, highlighting their importance. Seeking Allah's well-being is a way of acknowledging our complete dependence on Him for all our blessings, including our vision. It's a recognition that true health and clarity come from Him alone.

The narrator, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah, said that his father heard the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saying (while sitting on the pulpit): '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 torment of the grave. There is no god but You.' He repeated these words three times and then said: 'What is decreed for me?'
