Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) visited me during my illness and supplicated, "O Allah! Cure Sa'd. O Allah! Cure Sa'd. O' Allah! Cure Sa'd." <b>[Muslim]</b>.

وعن سعد بن أبي وقاص، رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ عادني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال‏:‏ ‏

‏اللهم اشف سعداً، اللهم اشف سعداً، اللهم اشف سعداً‏

‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) They show the Prophet’s good treatment of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) as he would visit the sick amongst them and supplicate for them.<br> 2) It is recommended to make this supplication for sick people three times: “O Allah, cure so-and-so.”<br> 3) We ought to repeat supplications three times, as the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. By doing so, a person insists on his Lord to answer the supplication, which is something that Allah Almighty likes.
