أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ الْبَرَّاءُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الأَخْنَسِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرُّوا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ ، وَفِيهِمْ لَدِيغٌ أَوْ سَلِيمٌ ، فَقَالُوا : هَلْ فيكمْ مَنْ رَاقٍ ؟ فَانْطَلَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ ، فَرَقَاهُ عَلَى شَاءٍ فَبَرَأَ ، فَلَمَّا أَتَى أَصْحَابُهُ كَرِهُوا ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالُوا : أَخَذْتَ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَجْرًا ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِذَلِكَ ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّجُلَ ، فَسَأَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا مَرَرْنَا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فِيهِمْ لَدِيغٌ أَوْ سَلِيمٌ ، فَقَالُوا : هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ رَاقٍ ؟ فَرَقَيْتُهُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَبَرَأَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ أَحَقَّ مَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Some companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by an Arab tribe, among whom there was a man who had been stung by a snake or a scorpion. The people asked: Is there anyone among you who knows how to perform ruqyah (spiritual healing)? One of those companions went and recited something over him, and the man was cured. When that companion returned to his fellows, they did not like what he had done. They said: You have taken compensation for (reciting) Allah’s Book. When these people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and informed him about this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called that companion and asked him. He replied: O Messenger of Allah! We passed by an Arab tribe in which there was a man who had been stung by a scorpion or a snake. The people asked: Is there anyone among you who knows how to perform ruqyah? So I recited Surah Al-Fatihah over him, and he was cured. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The thing most deserving for which you take compensation is the Book of Allah.
