“There is no Ruqyah except for the evil eye or from the sting of a scorpion.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ رُقْيَةَ إِلاَّ مِنْ عَيْنٍ أَوْ حُمَةٍ  

It as narrated from Abu Bakr bin Muhammad that Khalidah bint Anas, the mother of Banu Hazm As-Sa’idiyyah, came to the Prophet ﷺ and recited a Ruqyah to him, and he told her to use it.  

أَنَّ خَالِدَةَ بِنْتَ أَنَسٍ أُمَّ بَنِي حَزْمٍ السَّاعِدِيَّةَ جَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الرُّقَى فَأَمَرَهَا بِهَا  

“There was a family among the Ansar, called Al ‘Amr bin Hazm, who used to recite Ruqyah for the scorpion sting, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade Ruqyah. They came to him and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! You have forbidden Ruqyah, but we recite Ruqyah against the scorpion’s sting.’ He said to them: ‘Recite it to me.’ So they recited it to him, and he said: ‘There is nothing wrong with this, this is confirmed.’”  

يُقَالُ لَهُمْ آلُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ يَرْقُونَ مِنَ الْحُمَةِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ نَهَى عَنِ الرُّقَى فَأَتَوْهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ قَدْ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى وَإِنَّا نَرْقِي مِنَ الْحُمَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ اعْرِضُوا عَلَىَّ فَعَرَضُوهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهَذِهِ هَذِهِ مَوَاثِيقُ  

It was narrated from Anas that the Prophet ﷺ allowed Ruqyah for the scorpion’s sting, the evil eye, and Namlah (sores or small pustules ulcers or sores on a person’s sides).  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَخَّصَ فِي الرُّقْيَةِ مِنَ الْحُمَةِ وَالْعَيْنِ وَالنَّمْلَةِ
