3521. It was narrated from 'Aishah that one of the things that the Prophet ﷺ used to say for the sick person, with saliva on his finger (dipped in dust), was: "Bismillāh, turbatu ardinā, biriqati bā'dinā, liyushfa saqimunā. Bi'dhmi Rabbīnā (In the Name of Allāh, the dust of our land mixed with the saliva of one of us, to cure our sick one by the permission of our Lord).” (Sahih)

Commentary
a. The soil of Al-Madinah and the saliva of the Prophet ﷺ have special virtues. However, anyone who practices as mentioned in the Hadith, with the intention of following Sunnah, the patient will be cured from his illness, Allāh willing.
b. Hafiz Salāhuddin Yusuf said: "Saliva and soil both are merely means we are ordered to adopt, they develop the power of cure with the permission of Allāh. In fact, this way of Ruqyah is proved by the Sunnah. The power of cure in this procedure comes by the words in the supplication 'by the
permission of our Lord.' Saliva of a believer and soil, regardless of the land to which it belongs are a means of cure. The experience of pious people proves that this kind of Ruqyah is very effective. (See Riyâd-us-Sâlihîn, Hadîth: 901)
