الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلَاكَ بِهِ وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلًا
Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi 'afani mimmabtilaka bihi wa faddalani 'ala kathirin mimman khalaqa tafdila
Praise be to Allah who has spared me from what He has afflicted you with, and has favored me greatly over many of His creation.
Said silently (in your heart, not aloud) when seeing someone with a disability or affliction. The Prophet ﷺ said whoever says this will not be struck with that affliction. It is not a du'a of arrogance but of humility — you could easily be in their place. The purpose is to recognize your health as a gift and thank Allah for it. Always said privately, never in front of the afflicted person.
