[5733] 65 - (2201) It was narrated from Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî that a group of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ set out on a journey and traveled until they stopped near one of the Arab tribes. They asked them for hospitality but they refused to host them. Then they asked them: "Is there anyone among you who knows how to do Ruqyah?" Because the leader of that tribe had been stung or had fallen ill. A man among them said: "Yes." So he went to him and performed Ruqyah for him by reciting the Opening of the Book (i.e., Sûrat Al-Fâtîhah). The man recovered and he was given a flock of sheep, but he refused to accept them and said: "Not until I tell the Prophet ﷺ about that." So he came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about that. He said: "O Messenger of Allâh, by Allâh, I did not recite anything but the Opening of the Book as Ruqyah for him." He smiled and said: "How did you know that it is a Ruqyah?" Then he said: "Accept (the sheep) from them and give me a share with you."

Arabic text

65 - (2201) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانُوا فِي سَفَرٍ، فَمَرُّوا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ، فَاسْتَضَافُوهُمْ فَلَمْ يُضِيفُوهُمْ، فَقَالُوا لَهُمْ: هَلْ فِيكُمْ رَاقٍ؟ فَإِنَّ سَيِّدَ الْحَيِّ لَدِيغٌ أَوْ مُصَابٌ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ: نَعَمْ، فَأَتَاهُ فَرَقَاهُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ، فَبَرَأَ الرَّجُلُ، فَأُعْطِيَ قَطِيعًا مِنْ غَنَمٍ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهَا، وَقَالَ: حَتَّى أَذْكُرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ مَا رَقَيْتُ إِلَّا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَتَبَسَّمَ وَقَالَ: «وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ؟» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «خُذُوا مِنْهُمْ، وَاضْرِبُوا لِي بِسَهْمٍ مَعَكُمْ»
