‘Uthman ibn Hunayf reported that a blind man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘Pray to Allah to restore my well-being.’ He replied: ‘If you wish, I will pray for you; but if you are patient, that is better for you.’ The man said: ‘Pray for me.’ The Prophet ﷺ told him to perform ablution carefully and supplicate: ‘O Allah, I ask You and turn to You through Your Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet of mercy. I have turned through him to my Lord concerning this need of mine, that it may be fulfilled. O Allah, accept his intercession for me.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih gharib hadith.
