الْحَمْـدُ للهِ الّذي عافاني مِمّا ابْتَـلاكَ بِهِ، وَفَضَّلَـني عَلى كَثيـرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَـقَ تَفْضـيلا (At-Tirmidhi 5/493) Should we recite this only when we “see” the afflicted person with our own eyes? Or can this be recited upon hearing about him/her as well? Such as hearing the news of someone’s misfortune?
