Arabic text

3868 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَقِيلُ بْنُ مَعْقِلٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ وَهْبَ بْنَ مُنَبِّهٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ النُّشْرَةِ فَقَالَ: «هُوَ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ»

    [1] See Al-Bukhārī, no. 5691, Ibn Hajar explained that the patient is made to lay on his back, and something is put under his shoulders in order to make his head tilt backwards, then water or oil containing medicine is dripped into the nose.

  2. 2

    [2] It refers to a process by which one removes a spell, or treats a person who has been affected by a jinn. If one uses Ruqyah with what is lawful, there is no harm, but the Nushrah employed by witches and the like is unlawful.
