Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the Ansar to perform ruqyah for the sting of a venomous creature, and likewise permitted ruqyah for the evil eye and the like. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was cauterized for pleurisy (dhat al-janb) during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Abu Talhah, Sayyiduna Anas bin al-Nadr and Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with them) were present with me, and it was Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) who cauterized me.
(b) Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Talhah and Sayyiduna Anas bin al-Nadr (may Allah be pleased with them both) cauterized him.
