Hadith 7732
عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى حَدَّثَنِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي أَخًا وَبِهِ وَجَعٌ قَالَ وَمَا وَجَعُهُ قَالَ بِهِ لَمَمٌ قَالَ فَأْتِنِي بِهِ فَوَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَعَوَّذَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَأَرْبَعِ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَهَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ وَإِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَآيَةِ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَثَلَاثِ آيَاتٍ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآيَةٍ مِنْ آلِ عِمْرَانَ شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَآيَةٍ مِنَ الْأَعْرَافِ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَآخِرِ سُورَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ وَآيَةٍ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْجِنِّ وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَى جَدُّ رَبِّنَا وَعَشْرِ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ الصَّافَّاتِ وَثَلَاثِ آيَاتٍ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْحَشْرِ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَشْتَكِ قَطُّ
Sayyiduna Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I was with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a Bedouin man came and said: O Messenger of Allah! My brother is in distress. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What distress does he have? He said: He is overcome by a state of madness. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bring him to me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) seated him in front of him and recited Surah Al-Fatihah, the first four verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, the two verses with {وَإِلَہُکُمْ إِلٰہٌ وَاحِدٌ}, Ayat al-Kursi, the last three verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, verse {شَہِدَ اللّٰہُ أَنَّہُ لَا إِلٰہَ إِلَّا ہُوَ} of Surah Aal-e-Imran, verse {إِنَّ رَبَّکُمْ اللّٰہُ الَّذِی خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ} of Surah Al-A'raf, the end of Surah Al-Mu’minun {فَتَعَالَی اللّٰہُ الْمَلِکُ الْحَقُّ}, verse {وَأَنَّہُ تَعَالٰی جَدُّ رَبِّنَا} of Surah Al-Jinn, the first ten verses of Surah As-Saffat, the last three verses of Surah Al-Hashr, Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq, and Surah An-Nas, and performed ruqyah (spiritual healing) with them. After this ruqyah, the man stood up as if he had never had any distress.
Hadith 7733
عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَقْبَلْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَقَالُوا أُنْبِئْنَا أَنَّكُمْ جِئْتُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ بِخَيْرٍ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ إِنَّا قَدْ حُدِّثْنَا أَنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ هَذَا قَدْ جَاءَ بِخَيْرٍ) فَهَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ دَوَاءٌ أَوْ رُقْيَةٌ فَإِنَّ عِنْدَنَا مَعْتُوهًا فِي الْقُيُودِ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَجَاءُوا بِالْمَعْتُوهِ فِي الْقُيُودِ قَالَ فَقَرَأْتُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ غُدْوَةً وَعَشِيَّةً (زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ) أَجْمَعُ بُزَاقِي ثُمَّ أَتْفُلُ قَالَ فَكَأَنَّمَا نُشِطَ مِنْ عِقَالٍ قَالَ فَأَعْطَوْنِي جُعْلًا (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَأَعْطَوْنِي مِائَةَ شَاةٍ) فَقُلْتُ لَا حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ كُلْ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَقَالَ خُذْهُ) لَعَمْرِي مَنْ أَكَلَ بِرُقْيَةِ بَاطِلٍ لَقَدْ أَكَلْتَ بِرُقْيَةِ حَقٍّ
Kharijah bin Salat narrates from his uncle, who says: We came from the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to an Arab tribe. They said to us: We have been informed that you have returned from that man, meaning the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), with goodness. So do you have any medicine or incantation? We have a patient here who has been afflicted with madness and is bound in chains. Kharijah’s uncle says: For three days, morning and evening, I would recite Surah Al-Fatihah twice, gather my saliva in my mouth, and then sprinkle it on him while reciting the incantation. He was cured as if he had been released from ropes. They gave me a hundred sheep as a reward. I said: I will not accept them until I ask the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When I asked him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By my life! They are forbidden for the one who receives them through a false incantation. You have received them through a rightful incantation, so take them.
Hadith 7734
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَوْا عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فَلَمْ يَقْرُوهُمْ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَاسْتَضَافُوهُمْ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُضَيِّفُوهُمْ) فَبَيْنَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ لُدِغَ سَيِّدُ أُولَئِكَ فَقَالُوا هَلْ فِيكُمْ دَوَاءٌ أَوْ رَاقٍ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقْرُونَا وَلَا نَفْعَلُ حَتَّى تَجْعَلُوا لَنَا جُعْلًا فَجَعَلُوا لَهُمْ قَطِيعًا مِنْ شَاءٍ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ أُمَّ الْقُرْآنِ وَيَجْمَعُ بُزَاقَهُ وَيَتْفُلُ فَبَرَأَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَتَوْهُمْ بِالشَّاءِ فَقَالُوا لَا نَأْخُذُهَا حَتَّى نَسْأَلَ عَنْهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ مَا أَدْرَاكَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ خُذُوهَا وَاضْرِبُوا لِي فِيهَا بِسَهْمٍ
Syedna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that some of the noble companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) went to an Arab tribe and asked them for hospitality, but the people of that tribe refused to host them. Meanwhile, the chief of that tribe was bitten by something poisonous. They asked those companions: "Is there anyone among you who can perform ruqyah (spiritual healing) or treat him?" They replied: "You refused to host us, so we will not perform ruqyah unless you give us some compensation." So they agreed to give a flock of sheep. The one who was to perform ruqyah began reciting Surah Al-Fatiha, gathered his saliva in his mouth, and then applied it with a puff. The man was cured. They brought the sheep, but the companions said: "We will not take these sheep until we ask the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about this." When they asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, he smiled and said to the one who performed ruqyah: "How did you know that this Surah can be used for ruqyah? Take the sheep and allocate a share for me as well."
Hadith 7735
(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.
