3888. 'Uthmān bin Ḥakīm narrated: My grandmother Ar-Rabāb narrated to me: I heard Sahl bin Ḥunaif say: "I passed by a river, and I went in it and washed myself, and when I came out I had a fever. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was told about that, and he said: 'Tell Abū Thābit to seek refuge with Allāh.' I said: 'O my master, will Ruqyah be beneficial?' He said: 'There should be no Ruqyah except for the evil eye or a venomous bite or a scorpion sting.'" (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: Al-Humah[1] is from snakes and what bites.
