Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “This is a narration of abu Ja‘far (a.s.), from his ancestors. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Allah, the Lord, besides whom no one deserves to be worshipped, certainly repels by charity illnesses such as plague, boils, drowning, death by falling of crumbling debris, insanity, and so on....
