Dua When One Sees an Afflicted Person
✨ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ عَافَانِيْ مِمَّا ابْتَلَاكَ بِهِ ، وَفَضَّلَنِيْ عَلَىٰ كَثِيْرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيْلًا.
Translation :
All praise is for Allah who saved me from that which He has afflicted you with, and blessed me greatly over many of those whom He has created.
Transliteration :
Alḥamdu-lillāhi-l-ladhī ʿāfānī mim-mabtalāka bihī wa faḍḍalanī ʿalā kathīrim-mim-man khalaqa tafḍīlā.
Hadith:
Umar (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever sees an afflicted person then says [the above], he shall not be struck by that affliction for as long as he lives.” (Tirmidhī 3431)
One should say this discreetly.
