“Whenever the Prophet ﷺ fell ill, he would recite the Mu’awwidhat and blow, and when his pain grew worse, I would recite over him and wipe his hand over him, hoping for its blessing.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3529)   

أحمد:٢٤٧٢٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ الْمُعَوِّذَاتِ وَيَنْفُثُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَلَمَّا اشْتَكَى ﷺ جَعَلْتُ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَمْسَحُهُ بِكَفِّهِ رَجَاءَ بَرَكَةِ يَدِهِ
