Upon Seeing Inflicted People

Authentic Supplications of the Prophet

Upon Seeing Inflicted People (176)

It is reported that the Prophet

said: "Whoever sees a person that has been inflicted [with anything] and then says: Al-hamdu lil-lãhi 'allathee `ãfãnee mimmã 'ibtalãka bihi, wa fadh-dhalanee `alã katheerin mimman khalaqa tafdheelan⁽¹⁸⁹⁾,

he would not be inflicted with that infliction."

Footnotes

⁽¹⁸⁹⁾ All praise be to Allah who has pardoned me of that which He has tried you with, and made me much better than many of those He has created. [This is not supposed to be heard by the inflicted person.]
