    ✧ He informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day rode a donkey with a saddle covered by a velvet cloth, with Usāmah b. Zayd riding behind him, to visit Saʿd b. ʿUbādah among the Banū al-Ḥārith b. al-Khazraj, and that was before the Battle of Badr. He passed by a gathering in which ʿAbd Allah b. Ubayy b. Salūl was present, before his Islam, and in the gathering there was a mixture of Muslims and polytheists. When the dust of the animal reached the gathering, Ibn Ubayy covered his nose with his cloak and said: “Do not raise dust upon us.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ greeted them, then invited them and recited the Qur'an to them. Ibn Ubayy said to him: “Nothing is better than what you say, but do not come to us in our gatherings. Return to your lodging, and whoever comes to you, tell him.” Ibn Rawāḥah said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah, come to us in our gatherings, for we love that.” The Muslims and the polytheists began to insult one another until they almost fought. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ calmed them until they fell silent. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ proceeded until he entered upon Saʿd b. ʿUbādah and said: “O Saʿd, did you not hear what Abū al-Ḥubāb said?” Then he told him what had happened. Saʿd said: “O Messenger of Allah, pardon him and overlook it. By the One who sent down the Book upon you, Allah has brought you the truth that He sent down upon you. The people of this town had agreed to crown him and tie the headband around his head, but Allah rejected that through the truth He sent down upon you.”

    Did you supplicate for anything or beg of Him about that? He said: Yes. I used to utter (these words): Impose punishment upon me earlier in this world, what Thou art going to impose upon me in the Hereafter. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Hallowed be Allah, you have neither the power nor forbearance to take upon yourself (the burden of His Punishment). Why did you not say this: O Allah, grant us good in the world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the torment of Fire. He (the Holy Prophet) made this supplication (for him) and he was all right. (Using translation from Muslim 2688a)

    ✧ When the Messenger of God ﷺ came to Madinah, his Companions fell ill, and Abu Bakr, ‘Amir b. Fuhayrah the freedman of Abu Bakr, and Bilal fell ill. ‘A’ishah asked the Messenger of God ﷺ for permission to visit them, and he permitted her. She said to Abu Bakr, “How do you find yourself?” He said: “Every man is met in the morning among his family, while death is closer than his sandal strap.” She asked ‘Amir b. Fuhayrah, and he said: “I have seen death before tasting it. The coward’s death comes from above him.” She asked Bilal, and he said: “Would that I knew whether I shall spend a night in a valley with idhkhir and jalil around me; shall I one day come to the waters of Majannah, and will Shama and Tafil appear before me?” Then she came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and told him what they had said. He looked up at the sky and said: “O God, make Madinah beloved to us. O God, bless us in its sa‘ and its mudd. Transfer its fever to Mahya‘ah, that is, al-Juhfah.”

    ✧ Some people, or men, from ‘Ukal and ‘Uraynah came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and spoke of Islam. They said, “O Messenger of God, we are people of livestock and we have no farmland.” They found Madinah unhealthy. So the Messenger of God ﷺ ordered that they be given some milch camels and a shepherd, and told them to go out with them and drink their milk and urine. When they recovered, they were near the Harrah. They apostatized after their Islam, killed the shepherd of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and drove off the camels. News reached the Prophet ﷺ, and he sent men in pursuit on their tracks. They were brought, and he had their eyes put out with heated iron and their hands and feet cut off, then left them in the Harrah in that state until they died.

They gave us thirty sheep, and I went with them and started reciting the opening chapter of the Quran (Al-Fatiha) and wiped the place where their leader was bitten until he was healed. They gave us the sheep and I said: "By Allah, I will not eat it. I do not know what Ruqyah is nor do I possess the skill of performing Ruqyah." When we returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we informed him about what had happened. He said: "How do you know that it is a Ruqyah? What made you think of it as a Ruqyah? Eat it and present it to me as well."

He was given a flock of sheep, but he refused to accept it until he came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said: “O Messenger of Allah, by the One who sent you with the truth, I did not perform ruqyah on him except with the Fatihat al-Kitab.” The Prophet ﷺ laughed and said: “What made you know that it is a ruqyah?” Then he said: “Take the sheep and give me a share with you.”

He became as if he had been released from a bond.

    Some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ came across a tribe amongst the tribes of the Arabs, and that tribe did not entertain them. While they were in that state, the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion). They said, (to the companions of the Prophet ﷺ ), "Have you got any medicine with you or anybody who can treat with Ruqya?" The Prophet's companions said, "You refuse to entertain us, so we will not treat (your chief) unless you pay us for it." So they agreed to pay them a flock of sheep. One of them (the Prophet's companions) started reciting Surat-al-Fatiha and gathering his saliva and spitting it (at the snake-bite). The patient got cured and his people presented the sheep to them, but they said, "We will not take it unless we ask the Prophet (whether it is lawful)." When they asked him, he smiled and said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is a Ruqya? Take it (flock of sheep) and assign a share for me." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5736)

Rabi'ah.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Amir and was angry with him, saying, “Why would one of you kill his brother? Should you not have invoked blessing? Wash for him.” So Amir washed his face, hands, elbows, knees, the ends of his feet, and the inside of his lower garment in a bowl, then poured it over him.
