حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ،حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي . ح وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي السَّفَرِ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ قَالَ فَرَقَاهُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ غُدْوَةً وَعَشِيَّةً كُلَّمَا خَتَمَهَا جَمَعَ بُزَاقَهُ ، ثُمَّ تَفَلَ فَكَأَنَّمَا أُنْشِطَ مِنْ عِقَالٍ فَأَعْطَوْهُ شَيْئًا ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ مُسَدَّدٍ .
Kharijah bin al-Salt quoted his parental uncle as saying that he passed (some people): He recited Surat al-Fatihah over him for three days morning and evening. Whenever he finished it, he collected some of his saliva and spat it out, and he seemed as if he were set free from a bond. They gave him something as payment. He then came to the Prophet ﷺ. He then transmitted the rest of the tradition to the same effect as Musaddad narrated.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Among the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum), from the very first day after embracing Islam, the motivation and zeal to distinguish between lawful (halal) and unlawful (haram) in their sustenance would arise.
And they exercised extreme caution in this matter, and this very thing is an extremely important element in the acceptance and effectiveness of supplications (du‘a).
