TAWEEZ AGAINST WARTS
To treat warts - small, benign, and hard excrescence on the skin or on the hand occasionally - for each wart, you may take seven barley seeds. Recite the verses 1-6 of Surah al-Waqiah (No. 56) seven times over each seed. Then, recite the following verse seven times over each seed, too:
وَ يَسْئَلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنْسِفُهَا رَبِّىْ نَسْفًا
They ask thee concerning the Mountains, say, ،My Lord will uproot them and scatter them as dust;
فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا
He will leave them as plains smooth and level;
لَاتَرٰى فِيْهَا عِوَجًا وَلَا اَمْتًا۔
Nothing crooked or curved wilt thou see in their place.
You may then blow over it. Take one seed at a time and rub each seed on one wart. Then, put all of the seeds in a piece of cloth, tie up a rock on the piece of cloth, and throw it in a well.
This act is said to be advisably done in the waning of the moon.
A warty person is recommended to rub the warts with a piece of salt and recite three times the last four verses of Surah al-Hashr:
لَوْ اَنْزَلْنَا هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ عَلٰى جَبَلٍ لَّرَاَيْتَهٗ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ وَتِلْكَ الْاَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ‏(21)
Had We sent down this Qur'an on a mountain...
هُوَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِىْ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ‌ ۚ عٰلِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ‌ ۚ هُوَ الرَّحْمٰنُ الرَّحِيْمُ‏(22)
هُوَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِىْ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ‌ۚ اَلْمَلِكُ الْقُدُّوْسُ السَّلٰمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْعَزِيْزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ‌ؕ سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ‏(23)
هُوَ اللّٰهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ‌ لَهُ الْاَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنٰى‌ؕ يُسَبِّحُ لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ‌ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ‏(24)
The piece of salt may be then thrown in an oven and the warty person may pass over it hurriedly. Then, the warts will vanish, Allah willing.
The author of the book of al-Khaza’in has mentioned that warts may vanish when they are overlaid with the hair-removing powder.
