Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25140 — Those who permitted ruqyah against

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amir bin Rabi'ah narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: Sahl bin Hunayf and I set out looking for a screen. We found a screen and a pool, and each of us was shy of bathing while someone could see him. So he screened himself from me, and when he saw that he was screened, he took off the robe made of a sheet that he was wearing and went into the water. I looked at him and his physique seemed very handsome to me, because of which my evil eye struck him. He began to shiver violently while still in the water. I called him, but he gave me no answer. So I went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him the whole matter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Get up." Then he came to him (Sahl), lifted (the garment) from his shin, and went into the water towards him. When he reached him, he struck his chest and then said: "O Allah, remove its cold, its heat and its pain." Then he said: "Stand up," and he stood up. At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any of you sees in himself, in his wealth or in his brother something that pleases him greatly, let him supplicate for blessing, for the evil eye is real."
