Question:

What is the best cure for forgetfulness (nisyān)?

Answer:

To dispel forgetfulness (nisyān), recite Sura Alam Nashra 17 times every night before sleeping and blow on the chest. In the morning after getting up recite Sura Alam Nashra 17 times, blow on water and drink some. It is very beneficial to write these Arabic alphabets and du a with saffron and rose water on a white porcelain plate:

ا ه‍ ظ م ف ش ذ

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم فسهل يا الهي كل صعب بحرمة سيد الابرار سهل يا محي الدين اجب يا جبرائیل بحق یا بدوح

Then dissolve this with rainwater or tap water and drink. Continue this process for 40 days.
