bayhaqi:19602Abū Saʿīd b. Abū ʿAmr > Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Aṣam > al-Rabīʿ > Saʾalt al-Shāfiʿī > al-Ruqyah > Lā Baʾs > Yarqī

[Machine] To elevate a person with the Book of Allah and what he knows of the remembrance of Allah, I asked, "Can the People of the Book be elevated?" He said, "Yes, if they are elevated with what is known from the Book of Allah and the remembrance of Allah." I then asked, "What is the proof for that?" He said, "It is not a proof. But as for the narration of our companion and your companion, indeed Malik informed us from Yahya bin Sa'id from 'Amrah bint 'Abdul-Rahman that Abu Bakr entered upon 'Aisha while she was complaining and being treated by a Jewish woman. He said to her, 'Treat her with the Book of Allah.' The Sheikh (Malik) may Allah have mercy on him, said, 'And there are numerous reports about what the Prophet ﷺ used to seek ruqyah with, and others were treated with, and he commanded to seek treatment with it. I have mentioned some of what has been reported about ruqyah in the book of ad-Daawat (invocations), and with Allah is success."  

البيهقي:١٩٦٠٢وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الشَّافِعِيَّ عَنِ الرُّقْيَةِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ

أَنْ يَرْقِيَ الرَّجُلُ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَمَا يَعْرِفُ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ أَيَرْقِي أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا رَقَوْا بِمَا يُعْرَفُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ وَذِكْرِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ وَمَا الْحُجَّةُ فِي ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ غَيْرُ حُجَّةٍ وَأَمَّا رِوَايَةُ صَاحِبِنَا وَصَاحِبِكَ فَإِنَّ مَالِكًا أَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَهِيَ تَشْتَكِي وَيَهُودِيَّةٌ تَرْقِيهَا قَالَ ارْقِيهَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَالْأَخْبَارُ فِيمَا رَقَى بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَرُقِيَ بِهِ وَفِيمَا تَدَاوَى بِهِ وَأَمَرَ بِالتَّدَاوِي بِهِ كَثِيرَةٌ قَدْ أَخْرَجْتُ بَعْضَ مَا وَرَدَ فِي الرُّقَى فِي كِتَابِ الدَّعَوَاتِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
