Summary
This supplication is narrated from Anas bin Malik RA by Abu Daud, al-Nasa'ie, Ahmad and Ibn Hibban, and Shaykh Shu'aib al-Arna'outh graded its chain as sound. It asks Allah for protection from vitiligo, insanity, leprosy and evil diseases. These ailments are singled out because of their lasting effects on the body or the mind, while the phrase evil diseases covers severe and dangerous illnesses such as bird flu, cancer and the coronavirus, according to Shaykh Muhamad 'Awwamah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Imam al-Khattabi menyatakan kita dituntut untuk memohon perlindungan daripada penyakit-penyakit ini adalah disebabkan ia mengcacatkan badan dan kekal kesannya serta sebahagiannya memberi kesan kepada akal.
