Hadith 3515

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي الْخَصِيبِ , حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عِيسَى , عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ , عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ , عَنْ جَابِرٍ , قَالَ : كَانَ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ , آلُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ يَرْقُونَ مِنَ الْحُمَةِ , وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ نَهَى عَنِ الرُّقَى , فَأَتَوْهُ فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , إِنَّكَ قَدْ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى , وَإِنَّا نَرْقِي مِنَ الْحُمَةِ , فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : " اعْرِضُوا عَلَيَّ " , فَعَرَضُوهَا عَلَيْهِ , فَقَالَ : " لَا بَأْسَ بِهَذِهِ هَذِهِ مَوَاثِيقُ " .
´It was narrated that Jabir said:` “There was a family among the Ansar, called Al ‘Amr bin Hazm, who used to recite Ruqyah for the scorpion sting, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade Ruqyah. They came to him and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! You have forbidden Ruqyah, but we recite Ruqyah against the scorpion’s sting.’ He said to them: ‘Recite it to me.’ So they recited it to him, and he said: ‘There is nothing wrong with this, this is confirmed.’”
