It was
narrated from ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila that his father Abu
Laila
said:
“I was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a Bedouin came
to
him and said: ‘I have a brother who is sick.’ He said: ‘What is
the
matter with your brother?’ He said: ‘He suffers from a slight
mental
derangement.’ He said: ‘Go and bring him.’” He said:
“(So he went) and
he brought him. He made him sit down in front of
him and I heard him
seeking refuge for him with Fatihatil-Kitab; four
Verses from the
beginning of Al-Baqarah, two Verses from its middle:
‘And your Ilah
(God) is One Ilah (God – Allah),’ [2:163] and
Ayat Al-Kursi; and three
Verses from its end; a Verse from Al ‘Imran,
I think it was: ‘Allah
bears witness that La ilaha illa Huwa (none
has the right to be
worshipped but He),’ [3:18] a Verse from
Al-A’raf: ‘Indeed, your Lord
is Allah,’ [7:54] a Verse from
Al-Mu’minn: ‘And whoever invokes (or
worships), besides Allah,
any other ilah (god), of whom he has no
proof,’[23:117] a Verse
from Al-Jinn: ‘And He, exalted is the Majesty
of our Lord,’
[72:3] ten Verses from the beginning of As-Saffat; three
Verses from
the end of Al-Hashr; (then) ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One,’
[112:1] and Al-Mu’awwidhatain. Then the Bedouin stood up, healed,
and
there was nothing wrong with him.”
