حَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ وَيَحْيَی بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا مَرِضَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ نَفَثَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمُعَوِّذَاتِ فَلَمَّا مَرِضَ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ جَعَلْتُ أَنْفُثُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَمْسَحُهُ بِيَدِ نَفْسِهِ لِأَنَّهَا کَانَتْ أَعْظَمَ بَرَکَةً مِنْ يَدِي وَفِي رِوَايَةِ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَيُّوبَ بِمُعَوِّذَاتٍ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5714
A'isha reported that when any of the members of the household fell ill Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to blow over him by reciting Mu'awwidhatan, and when he suffered from illness of which he died I used to blow over him and rubbed his body with his hand for his hand had greater healing power than my hand.
