Is there any incantator amongst you, at the chief of the tribe has bgen stung by a scorpion? A person amongst us said: 'Yes. So he came to him and he practised incan- tation with the help of Sura al-Fatiha and the person became all right. He was given a flock of sheep (as recompense), but he refused to accept that, saying: I shall make a mention of it to Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and if he approves of it. then I shall accept it. So we came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and made a mention of that to him and he (that person) said: Messenger of Allah by Allah, I did not practice incantation but with the help of Sura al-Fatiha of the Holy Book. He (the Holy Prophet) smiled and said: How did you come to know that it can be used (as incactation)? - and then said: Take out of that and allocate a share for me along with your share. (Using translation from Muslim 2201a)
أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانُوا فِي سَفَرٍ فَمَرُّوا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فَاسْتَضَافُوهُمْ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُضَيِّفُوهُمْ فَعَرَضَ لِإِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي عَقْلِهِ أَوْ لُدِغَ فَقَالُوا لِأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مِنْ رَاقٍ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ نَعَمْ أَنَا فَأَتَى صَاحِبَهُمْ فَرَقَى بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَبَرَأَ وَأُعْطِيَ قَطِيعًا مِنْ غَنَمٍ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا رَقَيْتُهُ إِلَّا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ «مَا يُدْرِيكَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «خُذُوا الْغَنَمَ وَاضْرِبُوا لِي مَعَكُمْ بِسَهْمٍ»
