The Sufficient (Vol 2) · Hadith 1946 (#Ḥadīth #2)

2ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ الْمُهْتَدِي عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ زُرْبِيٍّ قَالَ مَرِضْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مَرَضاً شَدِيداً فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي عِلَّتُكَ فَاشْتَرِ صَاعاً مِنْ بُرٍّ ثُمَّ اسْتَلْقِ عَلَى قَفَاكَ وَانْثُرْهُ عَلَى صَدْرِكَ كَيْفَمَا انْتَثَرَ وَقُلِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي إِذَا سَأَلَكَ بِهِ الْمُضْطَرُّ كَشَفْتَ مَا بِهِ مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَمَكَّنْتَ لَهُ فِي الأرْضِ وَجَعَلْتَهُ خَلِيفَتَكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَنْ تُعَافِيَنِي مِنْ عِلَّتِي ثُمَّ اسْتَوِ جَالِساً وَاجْمَعِ الْبُرَّ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ وَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَاقْسِمْهُ مُدّاً مُدّاً لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ وَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ دَاوُدُ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَكَأَنَّمَا نُشِطْتُ مِنْ عِقَالٍ وَقَدْ فَعَلَهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ فَانْتَفَعَ بِهِ.

2. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn al-Muhtadi from Yunus ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from Dawud ibn Razin who has said the following: “I fell severely ill in Madiana and Abu ‘Abdillah had found out about it. He wrote to me, ‘Your ailment has come to our notice and you should buy one Sa’a (about 3 kg) of wheat, lie down on your back, pour it on your chest, as is done and say, “O Lord, I plead before You through Your name with which when a helpless person pleads before You, You remove his hardship, establish him on earth, and appoint him as Your deputy among Your creatures, bestow al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, grant me good health and recovery from my ailment.” Then sit straight, collect the wheat around you and say what you just said and distribute it among the destitute a handful for each one and say what you just said (above supplication).’ “Dawud has said, ‘I followed his instruction and it was like I was freed from a rope with which I was tied up. Many people tried it and benefited thereby.’”
