اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبَرَصِ وَالْجُنُونِ وَالْجُذَامِ وَمِنْ سَيِّئِ الْأَسْقَامِ
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-barasi wal-jununi wal-judhami wa min sayyi'il-asqam
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from leprosy, madness, elephantiasis, and all severe diseases.
The Prophet ﷺ used to seek refuge from debilitating diseases. While the specific diseases mentioned were common in his time, the du'a extends to all serious illnesses. It is a preventive supplication — asking Allah for protection before affliction strikes.
