A prayer recommended by the Prophet of Islam (PBUH)

SHAFAQNA – The Prophet of Islam (PBUH) visited an ill young man and asked about his illness. The young man replied: When you read Maghrib prayers for us, you recited Surah Al-qaria, then I asked God if I have sinned punish me in this world instead of in the hereafter, after saying that sentence I became ill and now I am in this situation. The Prophet (PBUH) said: That saying of your was not appropriate and then Prophet (PBUH) recommended to the young man to recite Ayah 201 of Surah Al-Baqarah: There is another kind who says: O’ God, give us good in this world and the hereafter and protect us from the torment of hell fire. Then Prophet (PBUH) prayed for that ill man and he recovered from his illness [1].
