“Once I said to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) may Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, about this thing that has appeared on my face, people say that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, does not allow it to cause suffering to one about whom He cares.’ The Imam said, ‘No, that is not so. The fingers of the believing person among the people of Pharaoh were such that bones were visible and he would speak to people extending his hand forward: ‘O people, follow the messengers.’ (36:20) The Imam then said, ‘When it is the beginning of the last third of the night, make Wuzu and stand up for prayer that you (usually) perform. In the last Sajdah (prostration) of the first two Rak’at say, ‘O the Most High, O the Most Great, O the Beneficent, O the Merciful, O the Hearer of the pleas for help, O the Conferrer of the good, grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, facilitate for me of the good of this and the next world that much which You would deem proper, divert away from me the evil of this and the next world that much that You deem proper and relieve me from this pain; - mention it by its name - it has caused me anguish and sadness,’ and be persistent in your pleading and prayer.’ “The narrator has said that before his reaching al-Kufa Allah had totally relieved him from that disease.’” (See also Hadith 30 Ch. 103)
