Volume 7, Book 71, Number 631:
Narrated 'Aisha:
During the Prophet's fatal illness, he used to recite the Mu'auwidhat (Surat An-Nas and Surat Al-
Falaq) and then blow his breath over his body. When his illness was aggravated, I used to recite those
two Suras and blow my breath over him and make him rub his body with his own hand for its bless –
ings." (Ma'mar asked Az-Zuhri: How did the Prophet use to blow? Az-Zuhri said: He used to blow on
his hands and then passed them over his face.)
