Ibn 'Abbas said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, visited a sick person, he would sit by his head and then say seven times, 'I ask Allah the Immense, the Lord of the Immense Throne, to cure you.' If the time of the invalid had not yet come, he would be cured of his pain."

أبو داود:٣١٠٦ – حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَبُو خَالِدٍ عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
