حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ يَحْيَي التَّمِيمِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ ِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانُوا فِي سَفَرٍ ، فَمَرُّوا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ ، فَاسْتَضَافُوهُمْ فَلَمْ يُضِيفُوهُمْ ، فَقَالُوا لَهُمْ : هَلْ فِيكُمْ رَاقٍ فَإِنَّ سَيِّدَ الْحَيِّ لَدِيغٌ أَوْ مُصَابٌ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ : نَعَمْ ، فَأَتَاهُ فَرَقَاهُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَبَرَأَ الرَّجُلُ فَأُعْطِيَ قَطِيعًا مِنْ غَنَمٍ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهَا ، وَقَالَ : حَتَّى أَذْكُرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا رَقَيْتُ إِلَّا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَتَبَسَّمَ ، وَقَالَ : " وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ ؟ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " خُذُوا مِنْهُمْ وَاضْرِبُوا لِي بِسَهْمٍ مَعَكُمْ " .
Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that some persons amongst the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out on a journey and they happened to pass by a tribe from the tribes of Arabia. They demanded hospitality from the members of that tribe, but they did not extend any hospitality to them. They said to them: Is there any incantator amongst you, as the chief of the tribe has been stung by a scorpion? A person amongst us said: 'Yes. So he came to him and he practised incantation with the help of Sura al-Fatiha and the person became all right. He was given a flock of sheep (as recompense), but he refused to accept that, saying: I shall make a mention of it to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , and if he approves of it then I shall accept it. So we came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and made a mention of that to him and he (that person) said: Allah's Messenger by Allah, I did not practice incantation but with the help of Sura al-Fatiha of the Holy Book. He (the Holy Prophet) smiled and said: How did you come to know that it can be used (as incantation)? and then said: Take out of that and allocate a share for me along with your share.
