But, do you not see that He -azwj Made the sun as an illumination for His -azwj servants and a (source of) ripening for their fruits and a deliverer of their subsistence? And He -azwj Punishes a people with it by its heat on the Day of Judgment due to their sins, and in the world due to their evil deeds’’. [1] Introduction: Some Ahadith of Masomeen -asws , related to epidemic/pandemic/plague are presented for our guidance – consisting of the supplications, precautions and seeking cure.

A Supplication of Imam Ali Al-Reza -asws for protection during Epidemic: في (الدروع الواقية): عن الرضا (ع)، قال: إذا كثر الوباء في بلد فقولوا: In (the book) ‘Al-Durou Al-Waqiya’ – From Al-Reza -asws having said: ‘When the epidemic is widespread in a city, so say (the following supplication): – (بسم اللّه الرحمن الرحيم. لا حول و لا قوة إلّا باللّه العلي العظيم. In the Name of Allah -azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful.

There is neither Might nor Strength except with Allah -azwj , the Exalted, the Magnificent. و لا ينفع شيء إلّا بإذن اللّه. توكّلت على اللّه. و لا يأتي بالشفاء إلّا اللّه. ما شاء اللّه لا يصرف السوء إلّا اللّه. Nothing benefits except by the Permission of Allah -azwj . I rely upon Allah -azwj , and no one comes with the healing except Allah -azwj . Whatever Allah -azwj so Desires. Nothing turns away the evil except Allah -azwj . حسبي اللّه الذي خلقني فهو يهدين. و الذي هو يطعمني و يسقين.
