If you have pain in your body, you can say these authentic dua for pain. There is a hadeeth of Uthman bin Abee Al-‘Aas, may Allah be pleased with him, when he complained to the Prophet SAW about a pain he had in his body.

So, the Prophet SAW instructed him to recite this supplication:

He should put his hand where he feels the pain and say:

The Dua for pain in English is I seek refuge in the Honored of Allah and His Might from what I feel and what I apprehend.

He would repeat it seven times.

This is also one of the means of cure.

What Do You Say When You Have Pain In Islam?

When a person experiences any pain, he should put his hand on the spot and say:

With the name of Allah (three times), I seek refuge in the Honored of Allah and His Might from what I feel and what I apprehend,’ saying it seven times.

When he says this with certainty and believing that he will benefit from it, the pain will definitely abate by the leave of Allah.

This is more effective than perceptible drugs such as tablets, syrups and injection.

In the case of the former, you are seeking refuge from the One Who owns the Dominion of the Heavens and the Earth, the One Who has sent down the illness and the One Who is capable of removing it.

3. Dua

You should also recite al-Fatihah and al-Mu’awwidhat, and in the whole Quran there is healing, as Allah says:

“And We send down of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism and act on it), and it increases the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers) nothing but loss.

Surah al-Isra 17:82

It was narrated from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that some of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to one of the Arab tribes.

They asked them for hospitality but they refused to welcome them. Whilst they were like that, the chief of that tribe was stung.

They said: ‘Do you have any remedy or someone who can recite ruqyah?’ They said: ‘You did not offer us hospitality, so we will not do anything until you give us something in return.’

Then they agreed upon a flock of sheep. Then he started to recite the Essence of the Quran – i.e., Surat al-Fatihah – and he collected his saliva and spat at him (at the site of the injury), and he recovered.

The sheep were brought and they (the Companions) said: We will not take them until we ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

So they asked him and he smiled and said: “How did you know that it is a ruqyah? Take them and give me a share of them.

(Narrated by al-Bukhari; Muslim, 2201)

It was narrated from ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite al-mu’awwidhat and blow over himself during his final illness, and when he became too ill (to do that), I used to recite them and blow over him and wipe his hand on him for blessing.

Mu’ammar said: I asked al-Zuhri how he used to blow and he said: He used to blow on his hands then wipe his face with them. (Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim)
