[Machine] A group of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a tribe of the Arabs and there was a person among them who had been bitten by a snake or stung by a scorpion. They asked if they had a healer among them, for there was either a poisonous or non-poisonous creature in the water. One of them stepped forward and gave him water to drink, and he was cured. When he returned to his companions, they disliked what he had done and said, "You have taken payment for the Book of Allah." When they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they informed him of this incident. The Messenger of Allah called the man and asked him, so he said, "O Messenger of Allah, we passed by a tribe of the Arabs and there was a person among them who had been bitten by a snake or stung by a scorpion. We asked if they had a healer among them, for there was either a poisonous or non-poisonous creature in the water. I offered him water and he was cured." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the most deserving of what you have taken payment for is the Book of Allah."  

أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَرُّوا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ وَفِيهِمْ لَدِيغٌ أَوْ سَلِيمٌ فَقَالُوا هَلْ فِيكُمْ مِنْ رَاقٍ فَإِنَّ فِي الْمَاءِ لَدِيغًا أَوْ سَلِيمًا فَانْطَلَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَرَقَاهُ عَلَى شَاءٍ فَبَرَأَ فَلَمَّا أَتَى أَصْحَابَهُ كَرِهُوا ذَاكَ وَقَالُوا أَخَذْتَ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ أَجْرًا فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الرَّجُلَ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا مَرَرْنَا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ وَفِيهِمْ لَدِيغٌ أَوْ سَلِيمٌ فَقَالُوا هَلْ فِيكُمْ مِنْ رَاقٍ فَرَقَيْتُهُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَبَرَأَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ مَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا كِتَابُ اللهِ ﷻ
