ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1385
It was narrated from 'Uthman bin Hunaif that a blind man came to the Prophet P.B.U.H and said: "Pray to Allah to heal me." He said: "If you wish to store your reward for the Hereafter, that is better, or if you wish, I will supplicate for you." He said: "Supplicate." So he told him to perform ablution and do it well, and to pray two Rak'ah, and to say this supplication:(O Allah, I ask of You and I turn my face towards You by virtue of the intercession of Muhammad the Prophet of mercy. 0 Muhammad, I have turned to my Lord by virtue of your intercession concerning this need of mine so that it may be met. 0 Allah, accept his intercession concerning me)”. (Sahih)
