Question:
May Allah reward you. A listener from Libya asks, Honorable Shaykh, about the hadith that if a believer visits his sick brother and supplicates with this supplication
I ask Allah the Great, the Lord of the Great Throne, to cure you, seven timesاسال الله العظيم رب العرش العظيم ان يشفيك سبع مرات
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 13:156
he will be cured of that illness. The question remains: does he recite this supplication in secret or aloud? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Yes, it is reported that this supplication is recited for the sick person when visiting him, with the number mentioned. Whether he recites it aloud or in secret, there is nothing wrong with that; he has the choice, praise be to Allah.
