الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) حُمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) فَعَوَّذَهُ فَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَشْفِيكَ وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ يُعْيِيكَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ شَافِيكَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خُذْهَا فَلْتَهْنِيكَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ لَتَبْرَأَنَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ قَالَ بَكْرٌ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رُقْيَةِ الْحُمَّى فَحَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا.


88. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq Al-Ashary, from Bakr Bin Muhammad Al-Azady who said: Abu Abdullah (a.s) said: ‘The Rasool ﷺ Allah (azwj) had fever so Jibraeel (a.s) gave to him ﷺ a charm. So he said: ‘In the Name of Allah (azwj) I perform incantation on you ﷺ, O Muhammad ﷺ, and in the Name of Allah (azwj) I heal you ﷺ, and in the Name of Allah (azwj) from every disease which has exhausted you ﷺ, and in the Name of Allah (azwj), and Allah (azwj) is your ﷺ Healer. So take it and congratulations to you ﷺ. [56:75] Nay, I swear by the places of the stars for it would free you ﷺ from it by the Permission of Allah (azwj)’. Bakr (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him (a.s) about an incantation for the fever, so he (a.s) narrated to me with this’.
