Ruqyah for scorpion stings: what is it?

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ali. He said: One night the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying when he placed his blessed hand on the ground, and a scorpion stung him. He caught that scorpion with his sandal and killed it. Then, when he had finished the prayer, he said: "May Allah curse the scorpion! It spares neither one who prays nor one who does not." Or he said: "Neither a prophet nor anyone else." Then he called for salt and water and placed it in a vessel. Then he began pouring this water on his finger at the place where the scorpion had stung him, wiping it, and reciting the Mu'awwidhatayn over it for protection.

It is narrated about al-Aswad that he used to perform ruqyah in the Himyari language.

It is narrated from Ibrahim that he said: The ruqyah for the scorpion is this: Shajjah, qarniyah, milhatu bahr, qafta.

It is narrated from al-Aswad that he said: I presented the ruqyah to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she said: These are covenants.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: A man who had been stung by a scorpion was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "If this man had said: 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah Almighty from the evil of what He created,' he would not have been stung, and the scorpion would not have harmed him."
