Striking the back of an unconscious person and making du'a' for him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is your opinion regarding what some people do in certain villages? When one of them faints, they say to him, "I think Allah loves you and accompanies you," and they strike his back?

Answer:
This falls under the category of du'a' (supplication). If someone is afflicted and people make du'a' for him, asking Allah to restore his health or protect him—saying “May Allah protect you,” “May Allah keep you safe,” or “May Allah restore your health”—there is nothing wrong with that.
