“Whoever seeks treatment by cauterization, or with Ruqyah, then he had absolved himself of reliance upon Allah.”  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنِ اكْتَوَى أَوِ اسْتَرْقَى فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِنَ التَّوَكُّلِ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade cauterization. I had myself cauterized and I have not prospered or succeeded.”  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْكَىِّ فَاكْتَوَيْتُ فَمَا أَفْلَحْتُ وَلاَ أَنْجَحْتُ  

“Healing is in three things: A drink of honey, the glass of the cupper, and cauterizing with fire, but I forbid my nation to use cauterization.” And he attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ.  

الشِّفَاءُ فِي ثَلاَثٍ شَرْبَةِ عَسَلٍ وَشَرْطَةِ مِحْجَمٍ وَكَيَّةٍ بِنَارٍ وَأَنْهَى أُمَّتِي عَنِ الْكَىِّ رَفَعَهُ
