Transliteration:( Wa izaa maridtu fahuwa yashfeen )
And when I am ill, it is He who heals me [86].
Here, Ibrahim (عليه السلام) humbly acknowledges human vulnerability—illness is a part of life, but healing belongs to Allah. He does not attribute sickness to Allah but clearly states that cure and recovery are His alone. This expresses complete trust in Allah’s mercy and power, affirming that even in weakness, a believer turns only to the Divine Healer.

Please refer to Surah Shura ayat 78 which provides the complete commentary from verse 78 through 82.
(26:80) and Who, when I am ill, heals me;[58]
58. The second reason for worshiping Allah and Allah alone is that Allah has not become unconcerned with man after creating him and has not left him alone to seek other supporters for help, but has also taken the responsibility of making arrangements for his guidance, protection and fulfillment of his needs. The moment a human child is born, milk is produced for it in the breasts of his mother, and some unseen power teaches it the way to suck it and take it down the throat. From the first day of his life till his death, the Creator has provided in the world around him all necessary means required for every stage of his life for his development and guidance, sustenance and survival. He has also endowed him with all those powers and abilities which are needed to use the means with advantage and given him all necessary guidance for every sphere of life. Then for the protection of human life against all sorts of disease, germs and poisons, He has created such effective antidotes that they have not yet been fully encompassed by human knowledge. If these natural arrangements had not been made, even a thorn-prick would have proved fatal. When this all-pervading mercy and providence of the Creator is supporting and sustaining man at all times in every way, there could be no greater folly and ingratitude on the part of man than this that he should bow down before others than Allah and seek their help in need and trouble.
