حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِقَوْمٍ فَأَتَوْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّكَ جِئْتَ مِنْ عِنْدِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ بِخَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَارْقِ لَنَا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَوْهُ بِرَجُلٍ مَعْتُوهٍ فِي الْقُيُودِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَقَاهُ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ غُدْوَةً وَعَشِيَّةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكُلَّمَا خَتَمَهَا جَمَعَ بُزَاقَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تَفَلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَأَنَّمَا أُنْشِطَ مِنْ عِقَالٍ فَأَعْطَوْهُ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرَهُ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ كُلْ فَلَعَمْرِي لَمَنْ أَكَلَ بِرُقْيَةٍ بَاطِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَقَدْ أَكَلْتَ بِرُقْيَةٍ حَقٍّ .

He passed by a clan (of the Arab) who came to him and said: You have brought what is good from this man. Then they brought a lunatic in chains. He recited Surat al-Fatihah over him three days, morning and evening. When he finished, he collected his saliva and then spat it out, (he felt relief) as if he were set free from a bond. They gave him something (as wages). He then came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and mentioned it to him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Accept it, for by my life, some accept it for a worthless charm, but you have done so far a genuine one.
