أَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانُوا فِي سَفَرٍ فَمَرُّوا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فَاسْتَضَافُوهُمْ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُضَيِّفُوهُمْ فَعَرَضَ لِإِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي عَقْلِهِ أَوْ لُدِغَ فَقَالُوا لِأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مِنْ رَاقٍ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ نَعَمْ أَنَا فَأَتَى صَاحِبَهُمْ فَرَقَى بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَبَرَأَ وَأُعْطِيَ قَطِيعًا مِنْ غَنَمٍ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا رَقَيْتُهُ إِلَّا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ «مَا يُدْرِيكَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «خُذُوا الْغَنَمَ وَاضْرِبُوا لِي مَعَكُمْ بِسَهْمٍ»

✧ Some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were on a journey. They passed by a tribe of the Arabs and asked them for hospitality, but they refused to host them. Then a man from that tribe was stung by a scorpion or afflicted in his mind. They said to the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: “Is there any one among you who can perform ruqyah?” A man from them said: “Yes, I can.” He went to their man and performed ruqyah with the Fatihat al-Kitab (Surah al-Fatihah), and he was healed. 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.”
