اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ اشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا

O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the affliction. Cure, for You are the Curer. There is no cure but Your cure — a cure that leaves no illness.

> The Prophet (PBUH) used to treat the sick with this supplication.
