The Messenger of
Allaah ﷺ said:
“Whoever sees a person afflicted with an affliction (i.e related to his health, or in his Religion [committing sins, disbelief, bid’ah etc] then says:
الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلاَكَ
بِهِ
وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلاً
((All
praise is due to Allaah who saved me from that which He has tested you with,
and blessed me greatly over many of those whom He has created))
Allaah will protect him from that calamity, no
matter what it is, so long as he lives.”
Note: You do not say the above du’aa in front of
the person who is afflicted so that they would hear it.
[Saheeh at-Tirmidhee 3431]
