(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Anas and 'Aishah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Sa'eed is a Hasan Sahih Hadīth.
He said: I asked Abū Zur'ah about this Hadīth. I said to him: “Is the narration of 'Abdul-'Aziz from Abū Nadrāh, from Abū Sa'eed more correct, or, the narration of 'Abdul-'Aziz from Anas?” He said: “Both of them are Sahih.” (Another chain) from Anas.

Commentary
These narrations prove that health is from Allāh and being healthy or sick, in every condition, and in every situation, one has to pray to Allāh ﷻ alone, as only Allāh cures the sick. Offering to recite Ruqyah for someone is not prohibited and it is not against faith.
