Hadith 6097
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الرُّقَى ، فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ " .
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade ruqyah (spiritual healing). It was submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! You have forbidden ruqyah." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever among you can benefit his brother should do so.
Hadith 6098
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أن رسول اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَامْرَأَةٌ تُعَالِجُهَا أَوْ تَرْقِيهَا ، فَقَالَ : " عَالِجِيهَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : قَوْلُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " عَالِجِيهَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ " أَرَادَ عَالِجِيهَا بِمَا يُبِيحُهُ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ ، لأَنَّ الْقَوْمَ كَانُوا يَرْقُونَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ بِأَشْيَاءَ فِيهَا شِرْكٌ ، فَزَجَرَهُمْ بِهَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةِ عَنِ الرُّقَى ، إِلا بِمَا يُبِيحُهُ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ دُونَ مَا يَكُونُ شِرْكًا .
Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came to her and a woman was treating Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words) by performing ruqyah on her. So the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Treat her according to the Book of Allah.
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): "Treat her according to the Book of Allah," by this he meant that you should treat her in a way that the Book of Allah has declared permissible, because the people before, in the time of ignorance, used to perform ruqyah with such words in which there was shirk (polytheism), so the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade them from performing ruqyah with such words. However, the ruling is different for that which the Book of Allah has declared permissible and in which there is no shirk.
