3549. It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahmān 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 Fāṭihatil-Kitāb; four Verses from the beginning of Al-Baqarah, two Verses from its middle: 'And your Ilāh (God) is One Ilāh (God – Allāh),'[1] and Āyat Al-Kursī; and three Verses from its end; a Verse from Āl Imrān, I think it was: 'Allāh bears witness that Lā ilāha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He),'[2] a Verse from Al-A'rāf: 'Indeed, your Lord is Allāh,'[3] a Verse from Al-Mu'minun: 'And whoever invokes (or worships), besides Allāh, any other ilāh (god), of whom he has no proof,'[4] a Verse from Al-Jinn: 'And He, exalted is the
Majesty of our Lord,[1] ten Verses from the beginning of As-Sāffāt; three Verses from the end of Al-Hashr; (then) 'Say: He is Allāh, (the) One,[2] and Al-Mu'awwidhatain. Then the Bedouin stood up, healed, and there was nothing wrong with him." (Da'if)
