٣٥٢٩ - حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا اشْتَكَى يَقْرَأُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بِالْمُعَوِّذَاتِ وَيَنْفُثُ، فَلَمَّا اشْتَدَّ وَجَعُهُ كُنْتُ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَمْسَحُ عَلَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ، رَجَاءَ بَرَكَتِهَا»

Commentary
Mu'awwidhât refers to the last three chapters of the Qur'an, i.e., Surat Al-Ikhlas 112, Surat Al-Falaq 113 and Surat An-Nas 114. If the whole body is under the influence of an ailment (like fever), the Ruqyah is recited for blessings or protection, then the hands should be passed over the whole body from head to toe. If Ruqyah is recited over a person, then the hands should be passed over his body. A woman can recite Ruqyah over herself, over other women, over her male Mahram, and over her husband.
