In illness: words Allah (SWT) affirms
There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. There is no god but Allah alone. There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. There is no god but Allah; His is the dominion and His is the praise. There is no god but Allah, and there is no power and no strength except through Allah.
The Prophet ﷺ said that Allah (SWT) affirms each of these words, and that whoever says them in his illness and then dies, the Fire will not consume him. Al-Albani graded it sahih; Darussalam's checkers of at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah graded it weak. Follow any timing or count stated in the cited narration; otherwise it may be used as a general personal du'a.
The Arabic and meaning are paired with Jami at-Tirmidhi 3430, Sunan Ibn Majah 3794 (sahih per al-Albani; weak per Darussalam). No special promise or count is added without a cited basis.
