English translation
3420. It was narrated from Khārijah bin Aṣ-Ṣalt, from his paternal uncle, that he passed by some people who came to him and said: "You have brought something good from this man (the Prophet ﷺ); recite Ruqyah for us over this man.” Then they brought him an insane man who was in chains, and he recited Ruqyah for him, reciting the Essence of the Qur’ān (Sūrat Al-Fātiḥah) for three days, morning and evening, and every time he finished it, he collected his saliva and blew on him. And it was as if he was set free from bonds. They gave him something, and he came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about it, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Accept it, by my life,[1] for if there are some who would accept (payment) for a false Ruqyah, you are accepting it for a true Ruqyah.” (Hasan)
