Lady ꜤĀishah Ṣiddīqah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا narrates: “Whenever a member of the Prophet’s household became unwell, he would recite the MuꜤawwadhāt (Surah al-Falaq and Surah al-Nās) and blow upon them."[2]
Once, a Companion recited Surah al-Fātiḥah and blew upon a person who had been stung by a scorpion. Allah granted the person cure.[3]
In another case, there was a person from the tribe of a Companion who was mentally unwell and shackled in chains. For three days, the Companion recited Surah al-Fātiḥah three times in the morning and evening, before performing ruqya. Allah then cured the person of his ailment.[4]
