English translation

3418. It was narrated from Abū Al-Mutawakkil, from Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī that a number of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ set out on a journey, and they camped near one of the Arab tribes. They asked for their hospitality but they refused to offer them any hospitality. The chief of that tribe was stung by a scorpion and they treated him in all kinds of ways, but to no avail. One of them said: "Why don't you go to those people who camped near you; perhaps one of them will have something that will benefit your companion." One of them said: "Our chief has been stung by a scorpion, and we treated him in all kinds of ways but to no avail. Do any of you have anything with which he could treat our chief?" – meaning Ruqyah. One of them said: "I can recite a Ruqyah, but we asked you for hospitality and you did not give us any hospitality; I will not recite Ruqyah unless you give us something in return." They agreed to give him a flock of sheep, so he came and recited the Essence of the Book (Sūrat Al-Fātiḥah) over him and blew on him until he was healed, as if set free from bonds. They gave him the payment as they had agreed, and they said: "Distribute it." The one who had recited Ruqyah said: "Do not do anything until we come to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and consult him." The next day they came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and told him about that, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "How did you know that it is a Ruqyah? You did well. Count a share for me, along with you." (Sāḥih)

3418 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَهْطًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ انْطَلَقُوا فِي سَفْرَةٍ سَافَرُوهَا فَنَزَلُوا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فَاسْتَضَافُوهُمْ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُضَيِّفُوهُمْ، قَالَ: فَلُدِغَ سَيِّدُ ذَلِكَ الْحَيِّ فَشَفَوْا لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَا يَنْفَعُهُ شَيْءٌ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: لَوْ أَتَيْتُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطَ الَّذِينَ نَزَلُوا بِكُمْ لَعَلَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِهِمْ شَيْءٌ يَنْفَعُ صَاحِبَكُمْ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: إِنَّ سَيِّدَنَا لُدِغَ فَشَفَيْنَا لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَلَا يَنْفَعُهُ شَيْءٌ، فَهَلْ عِنْدَ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ شَيْءٌ يَشْفِي صَاحِبَنَا؟، يَعْنِي رُقْيَةً، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِنِّي لَأَرْقِي وَلَكِنِ اسْتَضَفْنَاكُمْ فَأَبَيْتُمْ أَنْ تُضَيِّفُونَا مَا أَنَا بِرَاقٍ حَتَّى تَجْعَلُوا لِي جُعْلًا فَجَعَلُوا لَهُ قَطِيعًا مِنَ الشَّاءِ، فَأَتَاهُ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ، وَيَتْفِلُ حَتَّى بَرِئَ كَأَنَّمَا أُنْشِطَ مِنْ عِقَالٍ، فَأَوْفَاهُمْ جُعْلَهُمُ الَّذِي صَالَحُوهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالُوا: اقْتَسِمُوا، فَقَالَ الَّذِي رَقَى: لَا تَفْعَلُوا حَتَّى نَأْتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَسْتَأْمِرَهُ، فَغَدَوْا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ؟ أَحْسَنْتُمْ وَاضْرِبُوا لِي مَعَكُمْ بِسَهْمٍ»،
