[Machine] "Some companions of the Prophet ﷺ came to a village in the Arab lands, but the people of the village refused to let them in. While they were in this situation, the chief of the village was bitten, and they asked if anyone had a remedy or a healer. The companions said, 'You did not let us in and help us until we make a condition.' So, they cut off a part of the chief's sheep, and the companions began to recite Ruqyah (healing supplications) and collected their saliva to spit on it. The man was cured, and they brought them the sheep. The companions said, 'We will not take it until we ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it.' So, they asked the Prophet ﷺ about it, and he smiled and said, 'How would you know that it is a protective prayer (Ruqyah)? Take it and strike me with it.'"  

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَتَوْا عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فَلَمْ يَقْرُوهُمْ فَبَيْنَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ لُدِغَ سَيِّدُ أُولَئِكَ فَقَالُوا هَلْ فِيكُمْ دَوَاءٌ أَوْ رَاقٍ؟ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقْرُونَا وَلَا نَفْعَلُ حَتَّى تَجْعَلُوا لَنَا جُعْلًا فَجَعَلُوا لَهُمْ قَطِيعًا مِنْ شَاءٍ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ أُمَّ الْقُرْآنِ وَيَجْمَعُ بُزَاقَهُ وَيَتْفُلُ فَبَرَأَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَتَوْهُمْ بِالشَّاءِ فَقَالُوا لَا نَأْخُذُهَا حَتَّى نَسْأَلَ عَنْهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ مَا أَدْرَاكَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ خُذُوهَا وَاضْرِبُوا لِي فِيهَا بِسَهْمٍ  

Some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ came across a tribe amongst the tribes of the Arabs, and that tribe did not entertain them. While they were in that state, the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion). They said, (to the companions of the Prophet ﷺ ), "Have you got any medicine with you or anybody who can treat with Ruqya?" The Prophet's companions said, "You refuse to entertain us, so we will not treat (your chief) unless you pay us for it." So they agreed to pay them a flock of sheep. One of them (the Prophet's companions) started reciting Surat-al-Fatiha and gathering his saliva and spitting it (at the snake-bite). The patient got cured and his people presented the sheep to them, but they said, "We will not take it unless we ask the Prophet (whether it is lawful)." When they asked him, he smiled and said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is a Ruqya? Take it (flock of sheep) and assign a share for me." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5736)
