Messenger of Allah, you forbade to practise incantation, whereas I employ it for curing the sting of the scorpion, whereupon he said: He who amongst you is capable of employing it as a means to do good should do that.  

كَانَ لِي خَالٌ يَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ فَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرُّقَى قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى وَأَنَا أَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ فَقَالَ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ  

We know an incantation which we use for curing the sting of the scorpion but you have prohibited it. They recited (the words of incantation) before him, whereupon he said: I do not see any harm (in it), so he who amongst you is competent to do good to his brother should do that.  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرُّقَى فَجَاءَ آلُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَتْ عِنْدَنَا رُقْيَةٌ نَرْقِي بِهَا مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ وَإِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى قَالَ فَعَرَضُوهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا أَرَى بَأْسًا مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَنْفَعْهُ  

Messenger of Allah, you forbade to practise incantation, whereas I employ it for curing the sting of the scorpion, whereupon he said: He who amongst you is capable of employing it as a means to do good should do that. (Using translation from Muslim 2199c)  

كَانَ خَالِي يَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ فَلَمَّا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرُّقَى أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى وَإِنِّي أَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ فَقَالَ مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, indeed you have prohibited ruqyah, but I perform it with the snake." He said, "Tell me the details." So, he narrated the incident to him, and he said, "There is no harm in this, these are covenants." He said, "And my close relative from the Ansar came, and he used to perform ruqyah with scorpions." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed you have prohibited ruqyah, but I perform it with scorpions." He said, "Whoever is able to benefit his brother, then let him do so."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى وَأَنَا أَرْقِي مِنَ الْحَيَّةِ قَالَ «قُصَّهَا عَلَيَّ» فَقَصَّهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «لَا بَأْسَ بِهَذِهِ هَذِهِ مَوَاثِيقُ» قَالَ وَجَاءَ خَالِي مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَكَانَ يَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى وَأَنَا أَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ قَالَ «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbade the use of incantations (ruqyah). The family of Amr ibn Hazm had a ruqyah that they used for scorpion stings, so they went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, you have forbidden the use of incantations, but we have a ruqyah that we use for scorpion stings." He said, "Present it to me." They presented it to him, and he said, "I do not see any harm in it for anyone who is able to benefit his brother, so let him benefit him."  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرُّقَى وَكَانَ عِنْدَ آلِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ رُقْيَةٌ يَرْقُونَ بِهَا مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ فَأَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى وَكَانَتْ عِنْدَنَا رُقْيَةٌ نَرْقِي بِهَا مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ قَالَ فَاعْرِضْهَا عَلَيَّ فَعَرَضَهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا أَرَى بَأْسًا مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَنْفَعْهُ
