حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَهْطًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ انْطَلَقُوا فِي سَفْرَةٍ سَافَرُوهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَزَلُوا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاسْتَضَافُوهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُضَيِّفُوهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَلُدِغَ سَيِّدُ ذَلِكَ الْحَيِّ فَشَفَوْا لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَا يَنْفَعُهُ شَيْءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ لَوْ أَتَيْتُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطَ الَّذِينَ نَزَلُوا بِكُمْ لَعَلَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِهِمْ شَيْءٌ يَنْفَعُ صَاحِبَكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ سَيِّدَنَا لُدِغَ فَشَفَيْنَا لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا يَنْفَعُهُ شَيْءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهَلْ عِنْدَ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ شَيْءٌ يَشْفِي صَاحِبَنَا ؟ يَعْنِي رُقْيَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنِ الْقَوْمِ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي لَأَرْقِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ اسْتَضَفْنَاكُمْ فَأَبَيْتُمْ أَنْ تُضَيِّفُونَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَا أَنَا بِرَاقٍ حَتَّى تَجْعَلُوا لِي جُعْلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَعَلُوا لَهُ قَطِيعًا مِنِ الشَّاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ وَيَتْفِلُ حَتَّى بَرِئَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَأَنَّمَا أُنْشِطَ مِنْ عِقَالٍ فَأَوْفَاهُمْ جُعْلَهُمُ الَّذِي صَالَحُوهُ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ اقْتَسِمُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ الَّذِي رَقَى:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَفْعَلُوا حَتَّى نَأْتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَسْتَأْمِرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَغَدَوْا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مِنْ أَيْنَ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ ؟ أَحْسَنْتُمْ وَاضْرِبُوا لِي مَعَكُمْ بِسَهْمٍ .

Some of the Companions of Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم went on a journey. They encamped with a clan of the Arabs and sought hospitality from them, but they refused to provide them with any hospitality. The chief of the clan was stung by a scorpion or bitten by a snake. They gave him all sorts of treatment, but nothing gave him relied. One of them said: Would that you had gone to those people who encamped with you ; some of them might have something which could give you relief to your companion. (So they went and) one of them said: Our chief has been stung by a scorpion or bitten by a snake. We administered all sorts of medicine but nothing gave him relief. Has any of you anything, i.e. charm, which gives healing to our companion. One of those people said: I shall apply charm; we sought hospitality from you, but you refused to entertain us. I am not going to apply charm until you give me some wages. So they offered them a number of sheep. He then came to and recited Faithat-al-Kitab and spat until he was cured as if he were set free from a bond. Thereafter they made payment of the wages as agreed by them. They said: Apportion (the wages). The man who applied the charm said: Do not do until we come to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and consult him. So they came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم next morning and mentioned it to him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: From where did you learn that it was a charm ? You have done right. Give me a share along with you.
