Duas (Prayer) of Protection from Calamities and Diseases

When you see a patient suffering from any dicease or plague, recite this in Arabic or the language you speak because for ALLAH language doesn't matter, insha'ALLAH you wouldn't be suffering.

The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would make the following du’a:

اللَّهُمََّّ إِنِِّيَّ أَعُوذَُّ بِكََّ مِنََّ البَرَصَِّ وَالْجُنُونَِّ وَالْجُذَامَِّ وَمِنَّْ سَيِِّئَِّ الَْْسْقَامَِّ

Allahumma inni a’oodhu bika minal barasi wal jununi wal judhami wa min sayyi-il asqaam

“O Allah! I seek refuge in You from leukoderma, insanity, leprosy and from (all) evil diseases” (Abu Dawud 1549 and Ibn Hibban 1017)

Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) would recite the following du’a thrice every morning and evening as he heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) reciting it:

اللَّهُمَّ عََّافِنِي فَِّي بََّدَنِي، اَّللَّهُمَّ عََّافِنِي فَِّي سََّمْعِي، اَّللَّهُمَّ عََّافِنِي فَِّي بََّصَرِي،َّ لََ إَِّلَهَ إَِّلََّ أََّنْتََّ

Allahumma ‘aafini fee bada-nee, Allahumma ‘aafini fee sam-ee, Allahumma ‘aafini fee basa-ree, Laa ilaaha illa anta

“O Allah! Make my body healthy, O Allah! make my hearing healthy,
O Allah! make my eyesight healthy. There is no Deity but You”. (Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 5049)

The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “‘When one of you settles at a place, he should say [the following] for nothing will harm him until he leaves from there.”

أَعُوذُ بَِّكَلِمَاتِ اَّللََِّّ اَّلتَّامَّاتِ مَِّنْ شََّرِِّ مََّا خََّلَقََّ

A’oodhu bikalimaa tillahi-t tammati min sharri maa khalaq

“I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of that which He has created”. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2708)

The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: Whoever unexpectedly comes across a person suffering a calamity and says {the below du’a – should be said silently so as not to offend the afflicted} then that calamity will never befall him.”

اَلْحَمْدَُّ للَِّ الَّذِىَّْ عَافَانِىَّْ مِمَّاابْتَلاَكََّ بِهَِّ وَفَضَّلَنِىَّْ عَلىََّ كَثِيْ رَّ مِِّمَّنَّْ خَلَقََّ تَفْضِيْ ا لاَّ

Alhamudu lillahil-ladhi aafaani mimmab-talaaka bihi wa faddhalani ‘ala kathirim-mim-man khalaqa tafdheela "

All praise is for Allah; Who saved me from what He has afflicted you with and favoured me more than many others He created." (Ibn Majah 3892 and Tirmidhi 3431)
