Aisha reported that whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell ill, he would recite the protective surahs over himself and blow gently. When his illness grew severe, I would recite them over him and wipe him with his own hand, hoping for its blessing.
حدثنا عبد الله بن يوسف أخبرنا مالك عن ابن شهاب عن عروة
أن رسول الله ﷺ كان إذا اشتكى يقرأ على نفسه بالمعوذات وينفث فلما اشتد وجعه كنت أقرأ عليه وأمسح بيده رجاء بركتها
