Allahumma Rabba-n-nas, adhhibi-l-ba's, ishfihi wa Anta-sh-Shafi. La shifa'a illa shifa'uk, shifa'an la yughadiru saqama.
O Allah (SWT), Lord of mankind, remove the suffering and heal, for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, a healing that leaves no illness behind.
The supplication names Allah (SWT) as the Lord of all people and the only true Healer. Treatment and medicine remain part of taking the means; the dua places the result with Allah (SWT).
Its final phrase asks for more than temporary relief: a healing that does not leave sickness behind. It can be used alongside appropriate medical care without claiming that a particular outcome is guaranteed to any individual.
