TAWEEZ AGAINST HEADACHE & EAR ACHE

Imam al-Baqir (a.s.) is reported to have said: Whoever suffers from headache may rub his head with his hand and repeat the following statement seven times:

اَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ الَّذى سَكَنَ لَهُ ما فِى الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَ ما فِى السَّمواتِ وَالاَْرْضِ وَ هُوَ السَّميعُ الْعَليمُ

SUPPLICATORY AMULET AGAINST EARACHE

Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) is reported to have advised the same supplicatory amulet to be repeated seven times by those who suffer from earache.

Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) is reported to have advised those who suffer from earache to do the following:

Bring a piece of very old cheese, crush it, add milk to it, boil it on fire, and pour some drops of it in the ached ear.

SUPPLICATORY AMULET AGAINST HEADACHE

Recite the following holy verse on a glass of water and then drink it:

اَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذينَ كَفَرُوا اَنَّ السَّمواتِ وَالاَْرْضَ كانَتا رَتْقاً فَفَتَقْناهُما وَ جَعَلْنا مِنَ الْمآءِ كُلَّ شَيْئٍ حَي اَفَلا يُؤْمِنُونَ

It is reported that whenever the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was ailed or suffered from headache, he would open his two hands, recite Surah al-Faatehah, Surah al-Falaq, and Surah al-Nas, and then rub his face with his hands. Then, the ache would disappear.

For those who suffer from headache, while rubbing their heads with the hands, the following holy verse should be recited:

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمواتِ وَ الاَْرْضَ اَنْ تَزُولا وَ لَئِنْ زالَتا اِنْ اَمْسَكَهُما مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ اِنَّهُ كانَ حَليماً غَفُوراً

The following incident is quoted from the book of Rabi’ al-Abrar:

In Turtus (a city western Syria), Al-Ma’mun, the ‘Abbasid ruler, was once affected by headache that none could treat. Having heard about this, the Roman emperor sent him a bonnet and a letter in which he wrote, “Having been informed about your headache, I sent you this bonnet so that you would put it on your head and your ache would vanish.” Anticipating that the bonnet would be poisoned, al-Ma’mun ordered the messenger to put it on his head. However, no harm happened to the messenger. Al-Ma’mun then ordered the bonnet to be put on the head of another man who suffered from headache. Therefore, his pain vanished. Only then did he put it on his head and his headache vanished. Surprised, al-Ma’mun untied the bonnet and found the following inscription written therein:

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ كَمْ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ لِلَّهِ فى عِرْقٍ ساكِنٍ حَّم عَّسَّقَّ لا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْها وَلا يُنْزِفُونَ مِنْ كَلامِ الرَّحْمنِ خَمَدَتِ النيّرانُ وَ لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ اِلاّ بِاللّٰهِ وَ جالَ نَفْعُ الدَّوآءِ فيكَ كَما يَجُولُ مآءُ الرَّبيعِ فِى الْغُصْنِ
