باب فضل الدعاء
وَعَن أَنسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم كَانَ يَقُولُ : « اللَّهمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوُذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبرَصِ ، وَالجُنُونِ ، والجُذَامِ ، وسّيءِ الأَسْقامِ » رَوَاهُ أَبو داود بإِسنادٍ صحيحٍ .

Issues regarding Supplications, their Virtues and Supplications of the Prophet (pbuh)
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) used to supplicate: "Allahumma inni a`udhu bika minal-barasi, wal-jununi, wal-judhami, wa sayyiil-asqami (O Allah! I seek refuge in You from leucoderma, insanity, leprosy and evil diseases)."[Abu Dawud].


Commentary:
Leucoderma is a disease which gives rise to the appearance of white spots on the skin of body. Leprosy is a disease which renders one's organs invalid. Madness is mental disorder. All these are very dangerous diseases. The Prophet (PBUH) has sought Allah's Protection against these and other diseases like paralysis, diabetes, facial paralysis, cancer, blindness, etc. May Allah save us from all such diseases.
