Hadith 31:1

Hushaym narrated to us, Abu Bishr narrated to us, from Abu al-Mutawakkil, from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri, that some people from the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) were on a journey. They passed by a tribe of the Arab tribes and asked them for hospitality, but they refused to host them. Then, a person among them was afflicted in his mind—or stung. They said to the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Is there among you a raqi (one who performs ruqyah)?" A man among them said: "Yes." He came to their companion and performed ruqyah upon him with the Opening of the Book (Al-Fatiha), and he recovered. He was given a herd of sheep, but he refused to accept it until he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and mentioned that to him. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, by the One who sent you with the truth, I did not perform ruqyah upon him except with the Opening of the Book." He (the Prophet) laughed and said: "What made you know that it is a ruqyah?" Then he said: "Take them, and assign a share for me with you."

حدثنا هشيم، حدثنا أبو بشر، عن أبي المتوكل، عن أبي سعيد الخدري، أن ناسا من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كانوا في سفر، فمروا بحي من أحياء العرب، فاستضافوهم فأبوا أن يضيفوهم، فعرض لإنسان منهم في عقله - أو لدغ - قال: فقالوا لأصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: هل فيكم من راق؟ فقال رجل منهم: نعم، فأتى صاحبهم فرقاه بفاتحة الكتاب فبرأ، فأعطي قطيعا من غنم فأبى أن يقبل، حتى أتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر ذلك له، فقال: يا رسول الله، والذي بعثك بالحق ما رقيته إلا بفاتحة الكتاب، قال: فضحك، وقال: " ما يدريك أنها رقية؟ " قال: ثم قال: " خذوا واضربوا لي بسهم معكم "
