TAWEEZ AGAINST COLITIS

For those who suffer from colitis, they are required to write Surah al-Faatehah, Surah al-Falaq, and Surah al-Nas on a paper or a sheet and then adds the following statement thereunder:

اَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِ اللّٰهِ الْعَظيمِ وَ بِعِزَّتِهِ الَّتى لا تُرامُ وَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ الَّتى لا يَمْتَنِعُ مِنْها شَيْئٌ مِنْ شَرِّ هذَا الْوَجَعِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما فيهِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما اَجِدُ مِنْهُ

Then, the sheet may be washed with rainwater and drunk (1) in the beginning of the day before eating anything and (2) before going to sleep. This is blessed and useful way.

It is narrated that a man complained to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) about colitis from which his brother had suffered. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) instructed, “Tell your brother to drink a mixture of honey and hot water.” The next day, the man returned to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and informed that the prescription was not useful. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) commented, “Allah is truthful, but your brother’s colon is not. Go back, give him the same drink, and recite on it Surah al-Faatehah seven times as prayer for God’s protection.” When the man left, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said to Imam Ali(a.s.), “The brother of this man is hypocrite; therefore, the drink was not effective with him.”
