ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ إِبَاحَةِ أَخْذِ الْمَرْءِ الْأُجْرَةَ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا

Some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ passed by some people staying at a place where there was water, and one of those people had been stung by a scorpion. A man from those staying near the water, came and said to the companions of the Prophet, "Is there anyone among you who can do Ruqya as near the water there is a person who has been stung by a scorpion." So one of the Prophet's companions went to him and recited Surat-al-Fatiha for a sheep as his fees. The patient got cured and the man brought the sheep to his companions who disliked that and said, "You have taken wages for reciting Allah's Book." When they arrived at Medina, they said, ' O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! (This person) has taken wages for reciting Allah's Book" On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You are most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's Book."  

أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَرُّوا بِمَاءٍ فِيهِمْ لَدِيغٌ أَوْ سَلِيمٌ فَعَرَضَ لَهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَاءِ فَقَالَ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مِنْ رَاقٍ إِنَّ فِي الْمَاءِ رَجُلاً لَدِيغًا أَوْ سَلِيمًا فَانْطَلَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ عَلَى شَاءٍ فَبَرَأَ فَجَاءَ بِالشَّاءِ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَكَرِهُوا ذَلِكَ وَقَالُوا أَخَذْتَ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَجْرًا حَتَّى قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخَذَ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَجْرًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ مَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ

أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَرُّوا بِمَاءٍ وَفِيهِمْ لَدِيغٌ أَوْ سَلِيمٌ فَعَرَضَ لَهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مِنْ رَاقٍ إِنَّ فِي الْمَاءِ رَجُلًا لَدِيغًا أَوْ سَلِيمًا فَانْطَلَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَرَأَ أُمَّ الْكِتَابِ عَلَى شَاءٍ فَبَرَأَ فَجَاءَ بِالشَّاءِ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَكَرِهُوا ذَلِكَ وَقَالُوا أَخَذْتَ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ أَجْرًا فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا كَانَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ مَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا كِتَابُ اللهِ ﷻ  

[Machine] A group of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ passed by a village in the Arab lands, and in that village, there was a poisonous snake or a harmless snake. They asked the villagers if there was someone who could handle the snake because they needed to drink water and were afraid of the snake. One of the villagers stepped forward and killed the snake. When he returned to his companions, they were angry with him and said, "You took payment for the Quran!" When they arrived to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , they informed him of what had happened. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ replied, "The most deserving of you to receive payment for this act is the Book of Allah."  

أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَرُّوا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ وَفِيهِمْ لَدِيغٌ أَوْ سَلَيْمٌ فَقَالُوا هَلْ فِيكُمْ مِنْ رَاقٍ فَإِنَّ فِي الْمَاءِ لَدِيغًا أَوْ سَلِيمَا فَانْطَلَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَرَقَاهُ عَلَى شَاءٍ فَبَرَأَ فَلَمَّا أَتَى أَصْحَابَهُ كَرِهُوا ذَلِكَ وَقَالُوا أَخَذْتَ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ أَجْرًا فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ مَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا كِتَابُ اللهِ  

[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."
