Musnad Abi Ya'la 2299 — he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ الرُّقَى ، فَأَتَاهُ خَالِي وَكَانَ يَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى وَأَنَا أَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade incantations (ruqyah). Then my maternal uncle came to him (peace and blessings be upon him); he used to recite incantations for scorpion stings. He said: '(O Messenger of Allah!) You have forbidden incantations, while I recite incantations for scorpion stings.' So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever among you is able to benefit his brother should certainly do so.'"
