وعن سعد بن أبي وقاص

رضي الله عنه قال: عادني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: «اللهم اشف سعداً، اللهم اشف سعداً، اللهم اشف سعداً»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) visited me during my illness and supplicated, “O Allah! Cure Sad. O Allah! Cure Sad. O Allah! Cure Sad.”.

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) visited Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqās, when he was sick and said three times: "O Allah, cure Sa‘d." This Hadīth indicates that it is from the Sunnah to visit a sick Muslim. It also indicates the Prophet's exemplary character, and his good manners with his companions, as he used to visit the sick and make supplication for them.

This Hadīth serves as proof that it is desirable to make supplication saying: "O Allah, cure so and so," and one should name the person and repeat this supplication three times. This could be a reason for the person's recovery.
