15ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ صَاحِبِ الشَّعِيرِ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ وَكَانَ خَبَّازاً قَالَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) وَجَعاً بِي فَقَالَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَضَعْ يَدَكَ مَوْضِعَ سُجُودِكَ ثُمَّ قُلْ بِسْمِ الله مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) اشْفِنِي يَا شَافِي لا شِفَاءَ إِلا شِفَاؤُكَ شِفَاءً لا يُغَادِرُ سُقْماً شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَسُقْمٍ.

Published English translation

15. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Musa ibn al-Hassan from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from abu Ishaq Sahih al-Sha’Ir from Husayn al-Khurasani who was a baker and has said that he once complained before Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) from pain and the Imam said the following: “After prayer place your hand on the area for your prostration and say, ‘In the name of Allah, Muhammad the Messenger of Allah, cure me O Healer; there is no cure except Your cure that leaves no ailment without being removed, the cure for all pain and ailments.’”
