"All praise is due to God. It is established in the authentic hadith of Bukhari from Abu Huraira, may God be pleased with him, that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Nothing was sent down by God as a disease except that He sent down for it a cure...".

He opened the speech with the hadith that we mentioned earlier and mentioned that God the Most High informed about the Quran that it is a cure. Then he alerted that the remembrances, verses, and supplications that are sought for healing with it are themselves beneficial and curative but require the acceptance of the place and the strength of the will of the doer and its effect.

Then he mentioned other reasons for the failure of the cure, and the conditions for acceptance of the supplication, and the ailments which prevent its effect.

Then he held an important section to answer a famous question, which is that if what is sought by supplication is predestined, then there is no avoiding its occurrence, whether the servant asks for it or does not ask; otherwise it would not occur, whether the servant asked or did not ask him, so what then is the benefit of supplication?

And he explained that the predestined is determined by causes, and among them is supplication. Then he mentioned that God, Glory be to Him, has made actions in His Book a cause for obtaining good things and evils in this world and the Hereafter.

So the believer repels the predestined punishment of the Hereafter in proportion to the repentance, faith, and righteous actions. Then he cautioned against the contradiction of the self of the human to rely on the forgiveness of God and His pardon sometimes.
