Sahih al-Bukhari 5735 (Book 76, Hadith 50) #5501
Reciting Surah An-Nas and Surat Al-Falaq for Healing

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to recite two surahs and blow his breath over his body during his illness, and asked others to do the same.

Narrated 'Aisha: During the Prophet's fatal illness, he used to recite the Mu'auwidhat (Surat An-Nas and Surat Al- Falaq) and then blow his breath over his body. When his illness was aggravated, I used to recite those two surahs and blow my breath over him and make him rub his body with his own hand for its blessings". (Ma'mar asked Az-Zuhri: How did the Prophet use to blow? Az-Zuhri said: He used to blow on his hands and then passed them over his face)
حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ يَنْفُثُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فِي الْمَرَضِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ بِالْمُعَوِّذَاتِ، فَلَمَّا ثَقُلَ كُنْتُ أَنْفِثُ عَلَيْهِ بِهِنَّ، وَأَمْسَحُ بِيَدِ نَفْسِهِ لِبَرَكَتِهَا‏.‏ فَسَأَلْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ كَيْفَ يَنْفِثُ قَالَ كَانَ يَنْفِثُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ‏.‏

During the Prophet Muhammad's last illness he would recite two surahs from the Quran - known as 'Surat An Nas' and 'Surat Al Falaq'. He would then blow on himself with his breath. This was done in order to seek healing from Allah. When he was feeling worse Aisha would also recite these two surahs and then blow her breath on him while rubbing her hands over him for blessings. This is a reminder that we should always turn to Allah in times of difficulty or sickness as He is our only source of healing. We should also remember that reciting verses from the Quran can bring us peace of mind even if we are not physically ill.
