Whispers about the blow and groans

Great men of the world have already written about this, so what can I add to your opinion? In my opinion, it is of course futile and probably also forbidden by the Holy Scriptures. The “all illness” prayer, if seen as a request and not as a virtue, then there is no prohibition (although it probably will not be useful). See here: https://mikyab.net/posts/71958 One who performs a mitzvah for the blessing promised in it does not do it entirely for its own sake, but there is nothing wrong with that and certainly not a prohibition. Some commentators claim that the one who gives charity so that his son may live is a complete tzaddik, but in my opinion this is not true. And all this if he does charity for its own sake, but his motivation is so that his son may live. Simply put, this is said only about charity that exceeds the minimum amount when he is not obligated to give. In mitzvahs that are obligated to give, in my opinion there is no reason to say that in order that his son may live he is a complete tzaddik.
