مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ عَلَى مَرِيضٍ فَقُلْ...سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ

From Zurārah from one of them (عليه السلام) said: “When you enter upon a sick person, say seven times:

أُعِيذُكَ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ عِرْقٍ نَفَّارٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ حَرِّ النَّارِ

‘I seek protection for you with Allāh, the great Lord of the great throne, from every evil swelling vein, and from the evil of the heat of the fire’”
