Is the supplication "In the name of Allah, in the name of Allah, in the name of Allah" three times when ill?

This is mentioned in a hadith in Sahih Muslim: when one feels ill, he places his hand on the affected area and says: three times, and Sunan Ibn Majah 3522Sahih (Darussalam) seven times. Muslim narrated this in his Sahih, and it is one of the comprehensive, good, and concise supplications.
Q: Does he place his right hand on the place of pain?
The Shaykh: His right hand, or his left? He places his hand on the place of pain: "In the name of Allah," three times, then he says: "I seek refuge in the majesty and power of Allah from the evil of what I find and what I fear," seven times.
Q: Without blowing?
The Shaykh: Blowing is not mentioned.
Q: Does he place his hand once, or does he lift it with each recitation?
The Shaykh: No, he leaves it on it. If he puts it down and lifts it, there is no harm, but the hadith says he places his hand on the place of pain.
