"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ dispatched us on a military expedition. We camped with some people and asked them to entertain us but they did not entertain us. Their leader was stung so they came to us saying: 'Is there anyone among you who can treat a scorpion sting with Ruqyah?' I said: 'Yes I can. But I will not do any Ruqyah until you give us some sheep.' They said: 'Then we shall give you thirty sheep.' We accepted that,and I recited Al-Hamda [Lillah] seven times. He became better and we took the sheep." He said: "We became concerned about that being permissible and said: 'Do not be hasty until we reach the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said: "When we arrived with him I mentioned what I did to him. He ﷺsaid: 'How did you know that it was a Ruqyah? Take the sheep, and assign me a share among you.'"  

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَنَزَلْنَا بِقَوْمٍ فَسَأَلْنَاهُمُ الْقِرَى فَلَمْ يَقْرُونَا فَلُدِغَ سَيِّدُهُمْ فَأَتَوْنَا فَقَالُوا هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ يَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَنَا وَلَكِنْ لاَ أَرْقِيهِ حَتَّى تُعْطُونَا غَنَمًا قَالُوا فَإِنَّا نُعْطِيكُمْ ثَلاَثِينَ شَاةً فَقَبِلْنَا فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ (الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ) سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَبَرَأَ وَقَبَضْنَا الْغَنَمَ قَالَ فَعَرَضَ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَقُلْنَا لاَ تَعْجَلُوا حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ الَّذِي صَنَعْتُ قَالَ وَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ اقْبِضُوا الْغَنَمَ وَاضْرِبُوا لِي مَعَكُمْ بِسَهْمٍ  

[Machine] We sent the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a small group of thirty riders. He said, "We came to a tribe from the Arabs and asked them for hospitality, but they refused. Their leader was then bitten by a snake and they came to us saying, 'Is there anyone among you who can treat scorpion bites?' I said, 'Yes, but I will not do it until you give us something.' They said, 'We will give you thirty sheep.' I then recited "Al-hamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah) seven times over the sheep and they were healed. When we took the sheep, I suggested among ourselves that we should give the Prophet ﷺ a share. We mentioned this to him, and he said, 'Did you not know that it is a Ruqyah (spiritual cure)? Divide it and give me a share with you.'"  

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ ثَلَاثِينَ رَاكِبًا قَالَ فَنَزَلْنَا بِقَوْمٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ فَسَأَلْنَاهُمْ أَنْ يُضَيِّفُونَا فَأَبَوْا قَالَ فَلُدِغَ سَيِّدُهُمْ قَالَ فَأَتَوْنَا فَقَالُوا فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ يَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَنَا وَلَكِنْ لَا أَفْعَلُ حَتَّى تُعْطُونَا شَيْئًا قَالُوا فَإِنَّا نُعْطِيكُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ شَاةً قَالَ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهَا الْحَمْدُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ فَبَرَأَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَبَضْنَا الْغَنَمَ قَالَ عَرَضَ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا مِنْهَا قَالَ فَكَفَفْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ اقْسِمُوهَا وَاضْرِبُوا لِي مَعَكُمْ بِسَهْمٍ
