Musnad Abi Ya'la 1914 — a man from the Ansar used to perform ruqyah
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ ، فَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ الرُّقَى ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى ، وَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from the Ansar used to perform ruqyah (recite over people) for scorpion stings. Then, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade ruqyah, that man came and said: "O Messenger of Allah! You have forbidden ruqyah, while I used to perform ruqyah for scorpion venom." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever among you is able to benefit his brother, let him certainly do so."
