O Allah,
to You belongs praise for the good health of my body
which lets me move about,
and to You belongs praise, for the ailments
which You cause to arise in my flesh!
For I know not, my God,
which of the two states deserves more my thanking to You
and which of the two times is more worthy for my praise of You:
the time of health, within which You make me delight in the agreeable things of Your provision,
through which You give me the joy to seek the means to Your good pleasure and bounty,
and by which You strengthen me for the acts of obedience
which You have given me success to accomplish;
or the time of illness through which You put me to the test
and bestow upon me favors:
Lightening of the offenses that weigh down my back,
Purification of the evil deeds into which I have plunged,
Incitement to reach for repentance,
reminder of the erasure of misdeeds
through ancient favor;
and, through all that, what the two writers write for me:
blameless acts, which no heart had thought,
no tongue had uttered, and no limb had undertaken,
rather, as Your bestowal of bounty upon me
and the beneficence of Your benefaction toward me
O Allah,
Bless Muhammad and his Household,
Let me love what You have approved for me,
Make easy for me what You have sent down upon me,
Purify me of the defilement of what I have sent ahead,
Erase the evil of what I have done beforehand,
Let me find the sweetness of well-being,
let me taste the coolness of safety,
and appoint for me a way out from my illness to Your pardon,
transformation of my infirmity into Your forbearance,
Escape from my distress to Your refreshment,
and safety from this hardship in Your relief!
You are gratuitously bountiful in beneficence,
ever gracious in kindness,
The Generous, The Giver,
Possessor of Majesty and Munificence!

مِنْ دُعَائِهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِذَا مَرِضَ أَوْ نَزَلَ بِهِ كَرْبٌ أَوْ بَلِيَّةٌ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
أللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا لَمْ أَزَلْ أَتَصَرَّفُ فِيهِ مِنْ سَلاَمَةِ بَدَنِي، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا أَحْدَثْتَ بِيْ مِنْ عِلَّة فِي جَسَـدِي.
فَمَا أَدْرِي يَـا إلهِي، أَيُّ الْحَالَيْنِ أَحَقُّ بِالشُّكْرِ لَكَ، وَأَيُّ الْوَقْتَيْنِ أوْلَى بِالْحَمْدِ لَكَ، أَوَقْتُ الصِّحَةِ الَّتِي هَنَّـأْتَنِي فِيهَا طَيِّبَاتِ رِزْقِكَ، وَنَشَّطْتَنِي بِهَا لابْتِغاءِ مَرْضَاتِكَ وَفَضْلِكَ، وَقَوَّيْتَنِي مَعَهَا عَلَى مَـا وَفَّقْتَنِي لَهُ مِنْ طَـاعَتِـكَ أَمْ وَقْتُ الْعِلَّةِ الَّتِي مَحَّصْتَنِي بِهَا، وَالنِّعَمِ الَّتِي أَتْحَفْتَنِي بِهَا تَخْفِيفاً لِمَا ثَقُلَ بِهِ عَلَى ظَهري مِنَ الْخَطِيئاتِ وَتَطْهيراً لِمَا انْغَمَسْتُ فيهِ مِنَ السَّيِّئاتِ، وَتَنْبِيهاً لِتَنَاوُلِ التَّوْبَةِ، وَتَذْكِيراً لِمَحْوِ الْحَوْبَةِ بِقَدِيمِ النِّعْمَةِ، وَفِي خِلاَلِ ذَلِكَ مَا كَتَبَ لِيَ الْكَاتِبَانِ مِنْ زَكِيِّ الاعْمَالِ، مَا لا قَلْبٌ فَكَّرَ فِيهِ، وَلا لِسَانٌ نَطَقَ بِهِ وَلاَ جَارِحَةٌ تَكَلَّفَتْهُ بَلْ إفْضَالاً مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ، وَإحْسَاناً مِنْ صَنِيعِـكَ إلَيَّ.
أللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّـد وَآلِـهِ وَحَبِّبْ إلَيّ مَـا رَضِيتَ لِي، وَيَسِّرْ لِي مَا أَحْلَلْتَ بِيْ، وَطَهِّرْنِي مِنْ دَنَسِ مَا أَسْلَفْتُ، وَامْحُ عَنِّي شَرَّ مَا قَـدَّمْتُ، وَأَوْجِدْنِي حَلاَوَةَ الْعَافِيَةِ، وَأَذِقْنِي بَرْدَ السَّلاَمَةِ وَاجْعَلْ مَخْرَجِي عَنْ عِلَّتِي إلَى عَفْوِكَ، وَمُتَحَوَّلِي عَنْ صَرْعَتِي إلَى تَجَاوُزِكَ، وَخَلاصِي مِنْ كَرْبِي إلَى رَوْحِكَ، وَسَلاَمَتِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الشِّدَّةِ إلَى فَرَجِكَ، إنَّكَ الْمُتَفَضِّلُ بِالاِحْسَانِ، الْمُتَطَوِّلُ بِالامْتِنَانِ، الْوَهَّابُ الْكَرِيمُ، ذُوالْجَلاَلِ وَالاكْرَامِ.
