Hadīth 1. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبَرَصِ وَالْجُنُونِ وَالْجُذَامِ وَمِنْ سَيِّئِ الأَسْقَامِ
(Allāhumma innī a’ūdhu bika minal-baras wal-junūn wal-judhām wa min sayyi-il-asqām)
“Oh Allāh, I seek refuge in You from leprosy, insanity, vitiligo, and the worst of diseases.”
(Abū Dawūd 1554. Declared Sahīh by Al-Albānī)
Ibn ‘Uthaymīn said: And the worst of al-asqām (diseases) is the plural of disease, which is illness, and this includes all bad diseases, including what is now known as cancer. We ask Allāh for wellness, as it is one of the worst diseases. (Sharh Riyād al-Sālihīn 6/40)
Hadīth 2. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
اَللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنِي مُنْكَرَاتِ اَلْأَخْلَاقِ, وَالْأَعْمَالِ, وَالْأَهْوَاءِ, وَالْأَدْوَاءِ
(Allāhumma jannibnī munkarātil-akhlāq wal-a’māl wal-ahwā wal-adwā)
“Oh Allāh, distance me from from reprehensible morals, deeds, desires and diseases.”
(al-Tirmidhī 3591. Ibn Hibbān 3/240. Al-Hākim 1/532. Kitāb al-Sunnah of Ibn Abī ‘Āsim pg. 13. Mishkāt 2471. Declared Sahīh by Al-Albānī)
‘Abdullāh Al-Fawzān said: reprehensible morals and (reprehensible) deeds are those that are condemned by the Sharī’ah and custom. Reprehensible morals refers to mistreatment of people and reprehensible deeds refers to sins.
It has been said that reprehensible morals are the inner (i.e hidden) actions, such as conceit, pride, envy, haughtiness, malice, and the like. (Reprehensible) deeds are the visible deeds, such as adultery and drinking alcohol.
(Reprehensible) Desires, is what the soul is inclined to without regard to a purpose that is praiseworthy in the Sharī’ah.
(Reprehensible) diseases, the intent is chronic, incurable or repulsive diseases, such as cancer, vitiligo and leprosy. (Abridged, Minhatul A’lām 10/249-250)
