39. The Book of Greetings
٣٩۔ كتاب السلام
I asked ʿAisha about treating poisonous stings (a snake-bite or a scorpion sting) with a Ruqya. She said, "The Prophet ﷺ allowed the treatment of poisonous sting with Ruqya."
رَخَّصَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الرُّقْيَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذِي حُمَةٍ
The Prophet ﷺ used to say to the patient, "In the Name of Allah The earth of our land and the saliva of some of us cure our patient."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ لِلْمَرِيضِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تُرْبَةُ أَرْضِنَا بِرِيقَةِ بَعْضِنَا يُشْفَى سَقِيمُنَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّنَا
The Prophet ﷺ ordered me or somebody else to do Ruqya (if there was danger) from an evil eye.
أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوْ أَمَرَ أَنْ يُسْتَرْقَى مِنَ الْعَيْنِ
that the Prophet ﷺ saw in her house a girl whose face had a black spot. He said. "She is under the effect of an evil eye; so treat her with a Ruqya."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى فِي بَيْتِهَا جَارِيَةً فِي وَجْهِهَا سَفْعَةٌ فَقَالَ: «اسْتَرْقُوا لَهَا فَإِنَّ بِهَا النَّظْرَةَ۔»
