The Prophet’s ﷺ dua for healing

bukhari:5743ʿAmr b. ʿAlī > Yaḥyá > Sufyān > Sulaymān > Muslim > Masrūq > ʿĀʾishah

that the Prophet ﷺ used to seek protection for one of his family members: he would wipe with his right hand and say: 

allāhumma rabb al-nās, adhhab al-baʾs, ishfihī wa-anta al-shāfi, lā shifāʾa illā shifāuk, shifāʾan lā yughādiru saqamā

(O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the affliction; heal him, for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, a healing that leaves behind no sickness.")

Sufyan said: I narrated it to Mansur, and he narrated to me from Ibrahim, from Masruq, from Aishah, something similar to it.

البخاري:٥٧٤٣حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُعَوِّذُ بَعْضَ أَهْلِهِ، يَمْسَحُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى، وَيَقُولُ:

«اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ، أَذْهِبِ الْبَاسَ، اشْفِهِ وَأَنْتَ الشَّافِي، لاَ شِفَاءَ إِلاَّ شِفَاؤُكَ، شِفَاءً لاَ يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا».

قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: حَدَّثْتُ بِهِ مَنْصُورًا، فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ نَحْوَهُ.
