When your body hurts
Taught to ʿUthmān ibn Abī al-ʿĀṣ, who complained of a pain he had felt since becoming Muslim.
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ
Bismillāh (×3), then: Aʿūdhu bi-llāhi wa qudratihi min sharri mā ajidu wa uḥādhir (×7).
Place your hand where the pain is. Say 'In the name of Allah' three times, then seven times: 'I seek refuge in Allah and in His power from the evil of what I feel and fear.'
The full narration
Uthman b. Abu al-'As Al-Thaqafi reported that he made a complaint of pain to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he felt in his body at the time he had become Muslim. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:Place your hand at the place where you feel pain in your body and say Bismillah (in the name of Allah) three times and seven times A'udhu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhiru (I seek refuge with Allah and with His Power from the evil that I find and that I fear)
