54. From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdul Aziz Bin Al-Muhtady, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahmaan, from Dawood Bin Zurby who said: ‘I fell ill in Al-Medina with intense illness, and that (news) reached Abu Abdullah . So he wrote to me: ‘It has reached me (news of) your illness. Buy one Sa’a of wheat, then lie down on your back and scatter it upon your chest a scattering and say, ‘Our Allah (azwj)! I hereby ask You (azwj) by Your (azwj) Name which the restless (Al-Muztar i.e. Al-Qaim ) asks You (azwj) to Remove the adversities, and Enable him in the earth and Make him as Your (azwj) Caliph upon Your (azwj) creatures, and send greetings upon Muhammad ﷺ and upon the People of his ﷺ Household, and Cure me from my illness’. Then sit straight and gather the wheat which is around you and say the like of that (again) and distribute one Mudd by one Mudd to each of the poor and say the like of that (again)’. Dawood said, ‘I did the like of that and I was as if I had been disentangled from a knot, and more than one person did that, so they all benefitted by it’.
