[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent thirty men and we arrived at a tribe at night, but they refused to host us. So we camped on the outskirts and their leader was bitten. They came to us and asked if any of us could perform Ruqyah (healing recitation). We said yes, so they told us to proceed, but we asked them to give us sheep as compensation for hosting us. They gave us thirty sheep, and I went with them and started reciting the opening chapter of the Quran (Al-Fatiha) and wiped the place where their leader was bitten until he was healed. They gave us the sheep and I said: "By Allah, I will not eat it. I do not know what Ruqyah is nor do I possess the skill of performing Ruqyah." When we returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , we informed him about what had happened. He said: "How do you know that it is a Ruqyah? What made you think of it as a Ruqyah? Eat it and present it to me as well." He then took an arrow and said, "Hisham contradicted it," and he narrated it from Abu Bishr, who narrated it from Abu al-Muwakkil and said that Abu Sa'id also narrated it.
بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا فَنَزَلْنَا بِقَوْمٍ لَيْلًا فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُضَيِّفُونَا فَنَزَلْنَا نَاحِيَةً فَلُدِغَ سَيِّدُهُمْ فَأَتَوْنَا فَقَالُوا هَلْ فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ يَرْقِي؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالُوا فَانْطَلِقْ قُلْنَا لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا لَنَا جُعْلًا أَبَيْتُمْ أَنْ تُضَيِّفُونَا فَجَعَلُوا لَنَا ثَلَاثِينَ شَاةً فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَجَعَلْتُ أَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَأَمْسَحُ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي لُدِغَ حَتَّى بَرَأَ فَأَعْطَوْنَا الْغَنَمَ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ مَا نَأْكُلُ مَا أَدْرِي مَا الرُّقْيُ وَلَا أُحْسِنُ الرُّقْيُّ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَقَالُ «وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ وَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ نَعَمْ فَكُلُوهَا وَاضْرِبُوا لِي مَعَكُمْ بِسَهْمٍ» خَالَفَهُ هُشَيْمٌ وَرَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ
