Hadith on ‘Afiyah: Ask Allah for wellness in this life and next

Al-‘Abbas reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, teach me something to ask Allah Almighty.” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Ask Allah for wellness.” I waited for some days, then I came back, saying, “O Messenger of Allah, teach me something.” The Prophet said to me, “O ‘Abbas! O uncle of the Messenger of Allah! Ask Allah for wellness in the world and the Hereafter.
