18. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Amr ibn al-Mubarak from ‘Awn ibn Sa’D Mawla al-Ja’fari from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Place your hand over the painful area and say, ‘O Lord, I plead before You through the Holy Quran that the trusted Spirit brought (to Your Messenger) and it is before You in the original Book, high and full of wisdom, provide me cures with Your treatment, medication with Your medicine and good health from ailment You have caused, - say it three times,’ then say, ‘O Lord, grant cil-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family.’”
