The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who visits a sick person who is not on the point of death and supplicates seven times: As'alullahal-'Azima Rabbal-'Arshil-'Azimi, an yashfiyaka (I beseech Allah the Great, the Rubb of the Great Throne, to heal you), Allah will certainly heal him from that sickness." <b>[Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi]</b>.

من عاد مريضاً لم يحضره أجله، فقال عنده سبع مرات: أسأل الله العظيم رب العرش العظيم أن يشفيك: إلا عافاه الله من ذلك المرض
((رواه أبو داود والترمذي وقال: حديث حسن، وقال الحاكم: حديث صحيح علي شرط البخاري)).
