حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُصَيْفَةَ أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ السُّلَمِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ نَافِعَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ
أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ وَبِي وَجَعٌ قَدْ كَادَ يُهْلِكُنِي قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ امْسَحْهُ بِيَمِينِكَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ ﷻ مَا كَانَ بِي فَلَمْ أَزَلْ آمُرُ بِهِ أَهْلِي وَغَيْرَهُمْ

I had a pain which was about to destroy me. So the Prophet ﷺ said: Wipe it with your right hand seven times and say: “I seek refuge in the dominance of Allah, and His might from the evil of what I find.” Then I did it. Allah removed (the pain) that I had, and I kept on suggesting it to my family and to others.

أخطأ أبو معشر في هذا الحديث إنما هو ما رواه مالك بن أنس عن يزيد بن خصيفة عن عمر بن عبد الله بن كعب عن نافع بن جبير عن عثمان بن أبي العاص عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو الصحيح
machine translationAbū Maʿshar made a mistake (akhṭaʾa) in this hadith. Rather, it is what Mālik b. Anas narrated from Yazīd b. Khuṣayfah, from ʿUmar b. ʿAbdullāh b. Kaʿb, from Nāfiʿ b. Jubayr, from ʿUthmān b. Abī al-ʿĀṣ, from the Prophet ﷺ, and that is the authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) version.
