Answer
Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)

The best cure is to recite Surah Ta Ha, verse 25:28, twenty times after the morning prayers. (Aamale Qurani) Insha’allah, it will be cured.

Musa (as) had speech impediment, he made this Du’a to remove his stammering, as long as his speech became clear for the listeners.

Some Scholars say that the statement that Musa (As) made, “that they may understand my speech, “limited his Du’a to propagation only.Thus, there remained a stammer in his normal speech. Had he not mentioned this condition, he would also have become fluent and eloquent. ( The lives of the messengers Pg. 249)

Below is the Arabic text, transliteration and translation of the Du’a:

رب اشرح لى صدرى و يسرلى امرى واحلل عقدة من لسانى يفقهو قولى

Transliteration: ‘Rab-bish-rahlee Sadree wa-Yassirlee Amree Wa-hlul U’qdatam Mil-lisaanee Yafqahu Qaulee’

(Musa) said: “O my Lord! Expand me my breast; Ease my task for me; And remove the impediment from my speech. So they may understand what I say” (Ta Ha, 25:28)

And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
