Segulot of the Great Rambam

The great Rambam rarely provided segulot.

And if his segulot have been handed down to us, then they are “baduk u-menuseh” (tested in practice).   1. A segula for wealth and prosperity (Exodus 3:21) וְנָֽתַתִּ֛י אֶת־חֵ֥ן הָֽעָם־הַזֶּ֖ה בְּעֵינֵ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם וְהָיָה֙ כִּ֣י תֵֽלֵכ֔וּן לֹ֥א תֵֽלְכ֖וּ רֵיקָֽם - “V'natati et-chen ha'am-hazeh b'einei Mitzrayim v'hayah ki telechun lo telechu reikam” - (and I will grant this people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it will be that when you go, you will not leave empty-handed).   2. A segula for understanding the situation (Tehillim 118:5–14) If a person is uncertain whether a particular endeavor (a business venture, purchasing an apartment, etc.) will be successful, they should recite Psalm 118 seven times, from verse 5 through verse 14. If they recite these p'sukim fluently and without mistakes, this will be a sign that the endeavor will succeed; if not, they should continue praying. מִֽן־הַ֭מֵּצַ֥ר קָרָ֣אתִי יָּ֑הּ עָנָ֖נִי בַמֶּרְחָ֣ב יָֽהּ׃ ו יְהוָ֣ה לִ֭י לֹ֣א אִירָ֑א מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה לִ֣י אָדָֽם׃ ז יְהוָ֣ה לִ֭י בְּעֹזְרָ֑י וַ֝אֲנִ֗י אֶרְאֶ֥ה בְשֹׂנְאָֽי׃ ח ט֗וֹב לַחֲס֥וֹת בַּיהוָ֑ה מִ֝בְּטֹ֗חַ בָּאָדָֽם׃ ט ט֗וֹב לַחֲס֥וֹת בַּיהוָ֑ה מִ֝בְּטֹ֗חַ בִּנְדִיבִֽים׃ י כָּל־גּוֹיִ֥ם סְבָב֑וּנִי בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃ יא סַבּ֥וּנִי גַם־סְבָב֑וּנִי בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃ יב סַבּ֤וּנִי כִדְבוֹרִ֗ים דֹּ֭עֲכוּ כְּאֵ֣שׁ קוֹצִ֑ים בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃ יג דַּחֹ֣ה דְחִיתַ֣נִי לִנְפֹּ֑ל וַ֖יהוָ֣ה עֲזָרָֽנִי׃ יד עָזִּ֣י וְזִמְרָ֣ת יָ֑הּ וַֽיְהִי־לִ֝֗י לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃ 5. Min hameitzar karati Yah, anani vamerchav Yah. 6. Adonai li lo ira, mah ya'aseh li adam. 7. Adonai li v'ozri, va'ani er'eh v'son'ai. 8. Tov lachासot בַּיהוָה, mibtֹach ba'adam. 9. Tov lachասot בַּיהוָה, mibtֹach bin'divim. 10. Kol goyim s'vavuni, b'shem Adonai ki amilam. 11. Savuni gam s'vavuni, b'shem Adonai ki amilam. 12. Savuni chidvorim, do'achu k'esh kotzim, b'shem Adonai ki amilam. 13. Dacho d'chitani linpol, va-Adonai azarani. 14. Uzi v'zimrat Yah, vayhi li lishuah. (From my distress I called to G-d; G-d answered me with expansiveness. (6) G-d is with me; I shall not fear. What can man do to me? (7) G-d is with me among my helpers, and I will see the downfall of those who hate me. (8) It is better to take refuge in G-d than to trust in man. (9) It is better to take refuge in G-d than to trust in nobles. (10) All the nations surrounded me; in the Name of G-d I will cut them down. (11) They surrounded me, they surrounded me; in the Name of G-d I will cut them down. (12) They surrounded me like bees, but they were extinguished like a fire among thorns; in the Name of G-d I will cut them down. (13) You pushed me hard so that I would fall, but G-d helped me. (14) G-d is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.)   Segulot associated with the Rambam  “Pat Shacharit” – 83 illnesses and 83 halachot of the Rambam "Pat Shacharit" – 83 Diseases and the 83 Halachot of the Rambam   The Rambam on restorative sleep Rambam on the Importance of Sound Sleep
