حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ أُرَاهُ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا فَقَالَ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ شَفَاهُ اللَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ أُخِّرَ يَعْنِي فِي أَجَلِهِ و حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ لَمْ يَشُكَّ فِي رَفْعِهِ وَوَافَقَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْنَادِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2138
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) Abu Mu'awiyah said: I think he attributed it to the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Whoever visits a sick person and says, 'I ask Allah the Almighty, Lord of the Mighty Throne, to heal you/ seven times, Allah will heal him if his time [of death] is delayed."
