Is there a specific virtue or merit in reciting this du’a when visiting the sick, recorded in Sahih Bukhari?
‘La ba’sa tahurun insha Allah‘
Answer
I have not come across any specific virtue for reciting this du’a. However, this is a masnun du’a to recite when visiting the sick, as Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would recite this du’a.
(Refer: Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 3616, 5656)
The reciter will therefore be rewarded for practising on a Sunnah, and insha Allah the sick will be cured.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
