The answer

Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Darimi, and Al-Bayhaqi narrated a hadith with similar wording stating that "in the opening chapter of the Book (Al-Fatiha) there is a cure for every disease." However, Al-Albani declared this hadith weak. As for the addition "except death," it was not mentioned specifically for Al-Fatiha, but rather for the black seed. The entire Holy Quran is a healing, guidance, and mercy for souls and bodies, as Allah Almighty said: "O mankind, there has come to you an admonition from your Lord and a healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers" and "And We send down from the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe."
