2148. Ibn Abī Khizāmah narrated from his father, that a man came to
the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Do you think that the Ruqyah we use, the treatments we use, and what we seek to protect ourselves with prevent anything from Allāh's Decree?" He said: "They are from Allāh's Decree."[1] (Ḍā'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] We do not know of this Hadīth except as a narration of Az-Zuhri. More than one narrator has reported this from Sufyān, from Az-Zuhri, from Abū Khizāmah from his father, and this is more correct. This is what was said by more than one narrator, "From Az-Zuhri, from Abū Khizāmah from his father."

Commentary
Effectiveness or otherwise of devices like recitation of holy texts over patients, various forms of medication, or taking preventive measures against diseases etc. has already been determined. There is no basis, therefore, to presume that these measures will change the Divine Decree.
