Hadhrat Qabeesah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) Comes Out Seeking the Knowledge of Deen

عن قبيصة بن المخارق رضي الله عنه قال أتيت النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم فقال يا قبيصة ما جاء بك قلت كبرت سني ورق عظمي فأتيتك لتعلمني ما ينفعني الله تعالى به فقال يا قبيصة ما مررت بحجر ولا شجر ولا مدر إلا استغفر لك يا قبيصة إذا صليت الصبح فقل ثلاثا سبحان الله العظيم وبحمده تعاف من العمى والجذام والفلج يا قبيصة قل اللهم إني أسألك مما عندك وأفض علي من فضلك وانشر علي من بركاتك رواه أحمد وفي إسناده راو لم يسم  (الترغيب والترهيب 1/137)

Hadhrat Qabeesah bin Mukhaariq (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports: “I once came to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). He then asked me: “O Qabeesah, what has brought you here?” I replied: “I have become old and my bones have become weak, so I have come to you in order that you may teach me something through which Allah Ta’ala will benefit me.” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “O Qabeesah, you did not pass any stone, or any tree, or any clod of mud, except that it sought forgiveness on your behalf (as you have come out to seek the knowledge of Deen).

O Qabeesah, after performing your Fajr salaah, recite the following Duaa thrice سُبْحَانَ اللهِ العَظِيم وَبِحَمْدِه  Glory be to Allah Ta’ala the Great, joint to His praises, you will be saved from blindness, leprosy and paralysis.

O Qabeesah, recite اَللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِمَّا عِنْدَكَ وَأفِضْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَانْشُرْ عَلَيَّ مِن بَرَكَاتِكَ O Allah, I ask You to bless me from that which is by You (of Your Divine bounties), and pour Your Divine grace upon me, and spread over me Your Divine blessings.”
