Musnad Ahmad 841 (Book 5, Hadith 271) #34497
Praying for Relief, Status, and Patience

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) visiting Ali bin Abi Talib when he was sick and teaching him to pray for relief, status, and patience.

It was narrated that 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) said: I fell sick and the Messenger of Allah passed by me when I was saying O Allah, if my time has come then grant me relief; if it has not yet come then raise me in status; and if this is a trial then grant me patience. The Messenger of Allah said: "What did you say?" He repeated to him what he had said, and he nudged him with his foot and said: 'O Allah, grant him well being' or "O Allah, heal him". - Shu'bah was not certain. He 'Ali said: And I never suffered that sickness again after that.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ شَاكِيًا فَمَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ أَجَلِي قَدْ حَضَرَ فَأَرِحْنِي وَإِنْ كَانَ مُتَأَخِّرًا فَارْفَعْنِي وَإِنْ كَانَ بَلَاءً فَصَبِّرْنِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ مَا قَالَ قَالَ فَضَرَبَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ وَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ عَافِهِ أَوْ اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِهِ شَكَّ شُعْبَةُ قَالَ فَمَا اشْتَكَيْتُ وَجَعِي ذَاكَ بَعْدُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's visit to Ali bin Abi Talib when he was sick. When Ali asked Allah for relief if his time had come, status if it hadn't yet come, and patience if it was a trial; the Prophet nudged him with his foot and said "O Allah grant him well being" or "O Allah heal him". This teaches us that we should always turn to Allah in times of difficulty or sickness by asking Him for relief from our suffering as well as strength to bear any trials He may have set out for us. We should also ask Him to raise our status in this world so that we can be closer to Him in the hereafter.
