Hadith 94

(The book) ‘Makarim Al Akhlaq’ –
‘For the migraine, from Al-Reza-asws: – ‘In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1: 1] ‘Our Lord! Do not Let our hearts to deviate after You have Guided us aright, and Grant us Mercy from You; surely You are the Bestower [3: 8] Our Lord! You are the Gatherer of the people on a Day about which there is no doubt’; surely Allah does not break the Promise [3: 9]’. And he should write, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj aren’t a god we have innovated’ – up to end of what we shall be mentioning in the fourth part afterwards, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires’’. [165]
For the headache and other such (pains), from Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who has a headache with him or something else, let him place his hand upon that place, and let him say, ‘Settle down! I settle you by the One to Whom have settled whatever is in the night and the day, and He-azwj is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing! ’’[166]
From him-asws having said: ‘It was so, whenever the Prophet-saww was sluggish, or an (evil) eye afflicted him-saww, or headache, he-saww would extend his-saww hands and read Surah Al Fatiha, and Al Mawazateyn, then he-saww would wipe his-saww hand upon his-saww face, so it would be removed from him-saww whatever he-saww had been feeling’’. [167]
Umar Bin Ibrahim said, ‘I complained to Al-Reza-asws of bile (gall bladder problem) I was feeling, it had seized me from it resembling the insanity and the overwhelming headache. He-asws said: ‘Upon you is with (eating) this purslane which its leaves are to be wrapped and placed upon your head, and instruct them to place these upon heads of their children for it is beneficial, by the Permission of Allah-azwj! ’
I did so and the pain settled from it, and the purslane is pungent (smell)’’. [168]
From him-asws regarding the headache. He-asws said: ‘Let him dye with the Henna’’. [169]
Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘I complained to Abu Abdullah-asws of smell of the migraine. He-asws said: ‘When you are free from the obligatory Salat, place your right index finger between your eye and say seven times while you are passing it upon your right eyebrow, ‘O Affectionate, Heal me! ’ Then pass it upon your left (eyebrow) and say, ‘O Bestower, Heal me! ’
Then place your right palm upon your head and say, ‘O One for Whom settle whatever is in the night and the day, and whatever is in the skies and the earth! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household, and Settle what is with me! ’’[170]
