At that time, a Bedouin was seated on the right side of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), while Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was seated on the left side of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). After Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) drank, he passed the utensil to the Bedouin to drink and said, “The one on the right should be given first, and thereafter the one on his right.”

Dua One

There is no need to worry, insha-Allah through this sickness, you will be cleansed and purified. (i.e. There is absolutely no need for you to worry or fear. You are merely undergoing a cleansing process. Spiritually, you are being cleansed from your sins, and physically, your body is being cleansed from toxins. Hence, when this sickness has come to you as a mercy in disguise from the side of Allah Ta‘ala, there is no need for you to worry and grieve).

1. Recite durood in abundance.

Hazrat Aws bin Aws (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The most virtuous of days is the day of Jumu’ah. Therefore, recite durood abundantly upon me on this day, for indeed your durood are presented to me.”
