Aga Sayyid Mahmud Hamidi says: During Muharram of 1337 A.H. most residents of Shiraz were involved in an epidemic of influenza and all the members of my family were taken ill. I swooned due to the in tensity of the sickness and in that condition saw the majestic scholar. Aga Sayyid Mirza (prayer leader of Masjid Fatah) saying: Tell the people to put their hands on their temples and recite the following verse of Qur’an seven times:

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۙ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا

"And We reveal of the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust" (Surah al-lsraa’ 17:82).

On whomsoever this verse is recited, would be cured. When regained senses, I recited this verse seven times and the Almighty Allah cured me immediately. I arose and placed my hand on the temples of my son and he also recovered instantly. Thus, all the members of my family were cured the same day. From that time, whenever a person of my family is unwell, I recite this verse on him or her and that illness is cured.
