A child having fits of epilepsy and the Prophet ﷺ healing him

ahmad:17549Wakīʿ > al-Aʿmash > al-Minhāl b. ʿAmr > Yaʿlá b. Murrah from his father

that a woman came to the Prophet ﷺ with her child saying that he is having fits ˹of epilepsy˺. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Get out O enemy of Allah! I am the Messenger of Allah!" ˹The narrator˺ said that ˹the Prophet moved away.˺ She gifted him two rams, something from aqiṭ (made from curds or cheese), and something from butter.˹The narrator˺ said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Take the aqiṭ and the butter and one of the rams." and he returned the other to her.  

أحمد:١٧٥٤٩حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ مُرَّةَ يَعْنِي الثَّقَفِيَّ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَعَهَا صَبِيٌّ لَهَا بِهِ لَمَمٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «اخْرُجْ عَدُوَّ اللهِ، أَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ۔» قَالَ فَبَرَأَ فَأَهْدَتْ إِلَيْهِ كَبْشَيْنِ وَشَيْئًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ وَشَيْئًا مِنْ سَمْنٍ۔ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «خُذِ الْأَقِطَ وَالسَّمْنَ وَأَحَدَ الْكَبْشَيْنِ۔» وَرُدَّ عَلَيْهَا الْآخَرَ

that a woman came with her child to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this child of mine has a madness and it comes to him while we're having lunch and dinner and he ruins them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiped over his chest and made duʿāʾ for him and he vomited – ʿAffān said I asked a Bedouin and he said some of it is a report from some – and something similar to a black jirw/jarw (a predator or a young dog) came out of his abdomen and he was cured.
