2057. Imrān bin Huṣain narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "No Ruqyah except for the (evil) eye and the scorpion sting." (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] Shu'bah reported this Hadīth from Huṣain, from Ash- Sha'bi, from Buraidah [from the Prophet ﷺ, similarly].
٢٠٥٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا رُقْيَةَ» إِلَّا مِنْ عَيْنٍ أَوْ حُمَةٍ. وَرَوَى شُعْبَةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِهِ.

[1] It is mentioned in An-Nihāyah and Lisān Al-'Arab as a type of wound, or ulcer that occurs on one's side. See Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi.
What we get from this Hadith, and in light of others that explain it, is that the two things for which Ruqyah is most effective and useful are: the evil eye and the poisonous sting of insects and reptiles, although Ruqyah is also used for various other forms of evil troubling the affected people.
