Those who permitted blowing in ruqyah

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: (As a child) I crawled towards a cooking pot of ours and my hand was burned. So my mother took me to a man at al-Batha' and said: This is Muhammad; his hand has been burned. That shaykh began to blow on the hand and also recited some words that I could not retain. Then, during the rule of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), I said (to my mother): Who was the shaykh to whom you took me? My mother said: That was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

A man of Banu Salaman bin Sa'd narrates through his mother that her maternal uncle, Sayyiduna Habib bin Fuwayk (may Allah be pleased with him), told her that his (Habib's) father took him to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when his eyes had lost their sight and he could not see anything with them. He asked him (the father) what had happened to him (Habib). The father told him, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) blew into his eyes. And I saw (Habib) threading a needle when he was eighty years old, while his eyes were white.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to blow in ruqyah.

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

It is narrated from Qays bin Muhammad bin al-Ash'ath that he said: I was taken to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when my eyes were troubling me, and Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) performed ruqyah for me and blew.

It is narrated from Ibn Awn that he said: I asked Muhammad about the ruqyah in which one (also) blows, and he replied: I see no harm in it.
