وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ يَشۡفِينِ
80. And when I get sick, He heals me4.
4. These are the words of the prophet Abraham, being conscious of his own impotency to cure and heal himself; and being fully satisfied of the power of Allāh to cure and heal him. Sins are also diseases, and healing them lies in the forgiveness of them, which Allāh only can grant. The famous story of the boy and the king recorded in the Sunnah, when the king’s courtier asks the boy to cure his blindness, the boy retorts: “Verily, I cure no one. Only Allāh 'Exalted is He' Who cures. If you believe in Allāh, I will supplicate to Allāh and He will cure you.”
Hence, while the supplication was a means of curing the blindness, the real doer was Allāh alone. By making this known to the courtier, the boy instilled in him the reality of Monotheism. However, this does not mean the action (in this case, healing) cannot be ascribed to the means (in this case, the boy or his supplication). It is correct to make this ascription, as long as the belief that the effort is not the real cause is firmly understood. Jesus also cured the blind and the leprosy and raised from the dead all by Allah's permission and not from Himself. Jesus is nothing without the help of his God and Lord, Allāh and cannot do anything.

وَٱلَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحۡيِينِ

Each reward is equal to Mount Uhud, and the person who performs the funeral prayer only, and returns before the burial, will return with one qirat (great) reward”.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لِي خَطِيٓـَٔتِي يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ
82. And He Whom I hope to forgive my flaws on the Day of Recompense.
