Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25141 — Those who permitted ruqyah against

Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunayf narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by Sahl while Sahl was bathing. Sayyiduna Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have never seen the like of (the person seen) today, nor the skin of a secluded maiden like this. At that, Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) fell to the ground, until from the severity of the pain he could understand nothing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) summoned Sayyiduna Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), showed his anger towards him, and said: "You have killed him. On what grounds does any of you kill his brother? Why did you not supplicate for blessing for him?" Then he gave him (Amir) an order and said: "Wash for him." So he bathed, and he (Sahl) went off with the caravan.
