Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Hatib, who says: When I was a child, I crawled towards a cooking pot and my hand got burnt. So my mother took me to a man at the place of Batha and said, "This is Muhammad, his hand has been burnt." That elder began to blow on my hand and recited some words which I could not remember. Later, during the caliphate of Uthman, I asked my mother, "Who was that elder to whom you took me?" My mother replied, "He was the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him."

A man from Banu Salaman bin Saad narrates, through his mother, that his maternal uncle Habib bin Fuwaiq related from his mother that Habib’s father took him to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while his (Habib’s) eyes were sightless and he could not see anything. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked his (Habib’s) father, “What has happened to him (Habib)?” The father informed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, blew into Habib’s eyes. Then I saw (Habib) threading a needle while he was eighty years old and his eyes were white.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to blow during ruqyah (incantations) and amulets.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ya'la bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): A woman lifted up a child to him, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed the child's saddle between himself and the child, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) opened the child's mouth and blew into it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Qais bin Muhammad bin Ash'ath, he says that I was taken to the service of Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) while I was suffering from pain in my eyes, so Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) performed ruqyah (incantation) on me and blew (upon me).

It is narrated from Ibn Aun, he says: I asked Muhammad about the incantation in which breath is also blown? So he replied: I do not see any harm in it.
