Sunan Ibn Majah 3458 (Book 31, Hadith 23) #32812
The Healing Power of Prayer

SUMMARY: Prayer is a source of healing and should be done regularly.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Prophet set out in the early morning and I did likewise. I prayed, then I sat. The Prophet turned to me and said: 'Do you have a stomach problem?’* I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: 'Get up and pray, for in prayer there is healing.’" Another chain with similar wording. Abu 'Abdullah said: A man narrated it to his people, then they were stirred up against him.
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُسَافِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ذُؤَادُ بْنُ عُلْبَةَ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ هَجَّرَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ فَهَجَّرْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اشِكَمَتْ دَرْدْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ قُمْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّ فِي الصَّلاَةِ شِفَاءً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْقَطَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ذُؤَادُ بْنُ عُلْبَةَ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَ فِيهِ اشِكَمَتْ دَرْدْ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي تَشْتَكِي بَطْنَكَ بِالْفَارِسِيَّةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ لأَهْلِهِ فَاسْتَعْدَوْا عَلَيْهِ
