(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا) قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْثًا فَكُنْتُ فِيهِمْ فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى قَرْيَةٍ فَاسْتَطْعَمْنَا أَهْلَهَا فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُطْعِمُونَا شَيْئًا فَجَاءَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقَرْيَةِ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْعَرَبِ فِيكُمْ رَجُلٌ يَرْقِي فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ قُلْتُ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ مَلِكُ الْقَرْيَةِ يَمُوتُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا مَعَهُ فَرَقَيْتُهُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَرَدَّدْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ مِرَارًا فَعُوفِيَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا بِطَعَامٍ وَبِغَنَمٍ تُسَاقُ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابِي لَمْ يَعْهَدْ إِلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا بِشَيْءٍ لَا نَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى نَأْتِيَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسُقْنَا الْغَنَمَ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَدَّثْنَاهُ فَقَالَ كُلْ وَأَطْعِمْنَا مَعَكَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ أُلْقِيَ فِي رَوْعِي
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a detachment. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id says: I was also among them. We came to a village and asked its inhabitants for food, but they refused to feed us. Then a man from among the villagers came to us and said: O group of Arabs! Is there anyone among you who can perform ruqyah (spiritual healing)? Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What kind of ruqyah? He said: The chief of this village is at the brink of death. So we went with him. I recited Surah Al-Fatihah over him as ruqyah, repeating it several times. He was cured. He sent us food and sheep, which were driven to us. My companions said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has not given us any command regarding this, so we will not take anything from it until we present ourselves before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We drove the sheep until we came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When we related this matter to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Eat, and feed us with you. How did you know that this is a ruqyah? I said: It was simply inspired into my heart.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In these hadiths, there is mention of performing ruqyah (spiritual healing) with Surah al-Fatihah; in other hadiths, mention is found of other verses and hadiths, such as Surah al-Ikhlas, Surah al-Falaq, and Surah al-Nas, etc. The entire Qur’an is the speech of Allah Ta’ala and is extremely blessed; however, some verses, due to containing more of Allah Ta’ala’s attributes, may have a greater effect.
