Hadith of Uthman ibn Hunayf (RA)

حديث عثمان بن حنيف

Hadith 477:2

Rawh narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Abu Ja'far al-Madini, he said: I heard 'Umarah ibn Khuzaymah ibn Thabit narrating from 'Uthman ibn Hunayf, that a blind man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: "O Prophet of Allah, supplicate to Allah to heal me." He said: "If you wish, I will delay that, for it is better for your Hereafter, and if you wish, I will supplicate for you." He said: "No, rather supplicate to Allah for me." So he commanded him to perform ablution, to pray two rak'ahs, and to supplicate with this supplication: "O Allah, I ask You and I turn to You by means of Your Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, the Prophet of Mercy. O Muhammad, I turn by means of you to my Lord regarding this need of mine so that it may be fulfilled for me. O Allah, accept his intercession for me, and accept my intercession for him." He said: He would say this repeatedly. Then he said afterwards: I think it contains: "And accept my intercession for him." He said: So the man did that, and he was healed.

" فأمره أن يتوضأ، وأن يصلي ركعتين، وأن يدعو بهذا الدعاء: اللهم إني أسألك وأتوجه إليك بنبيك محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم نبي الرحمة، يا محمد إني أتوجه بك إلى ربي في حاجتي هذه فتقضي، وتشفعني فيه، وتشفعه في " قال: فكان يقول هذا مرارا. ثم قال بعد: أحسب أن فيها: أن تشفعني فيه. قال: ففعل الرجل، فبرأ
