[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I seek refuge from the scorpion?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever among you is able to benefit his brother with something, then let him do so."  

أحمد:١٥٢٣٤حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ وَمُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا عَنِ الرُّقْيَةِ فَقَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي خَالِي أَحَدُ الْأَنْصَارِ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَلْيَفْعَلْ
