Musnad Abi Ya'la 1913 — he said: A maternal uncle of mine
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : كَانَ خَالٌ لِي مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَرْقِي مِنَ الْحَيَّةِ ، فَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ الرُّقَى ، فَأَتَاهُ خَالِي فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى ، وَإِنِّي أَرْقِي مِنَ الْحَيَّةِ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : اعْرِضْهَا عَلَيَّ ، قَالَ : فَعَرَضَهَا عَلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : لَا بَأْسَ بِهَذِهِ ، هَذِهِ مِنَ الْمَوَاثِيقِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: A maternal uncle of mine from the Ansar used to perform ruqyah (recite over people) for snakebite. Then, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade ruqyah in general, my uncle came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! You have forbidden ruqyah, while I perform ruqyah for snake venom." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Present those words to me." The narrator said: He presented the words to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no harm in this (ruqyah); this is one of the formulas of covenant (mawathiq)."
