English Translation

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) narrated that some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came upon an Arab tribe and they did not host them. The chief of that tribe was stung by a scorpion. They did everything they could, but nothing helped. Some of them said: 'Go to those people who stopped here, perhaps one of them has something.' So they came to them and said: 'Our chief has been stung, and we tried everything but nothing helped. Do any of you have something?' One of them said: 'Yes, by Allah, I will perform ruqyah [spiritual healing]. But we asked you for hospitality and you refused. I will not perform ruqyah until you give us a payment.' They agreed on a flock of sheep. He went and recited al-Fatiha over him, and the man recovered. When they brought the sheep, the Companions said: 'Let us not divide it until we ask the Prophet ﷺ.' They asked him, and he laughed and said: 'How did you know it is a ruqyah? Divide it and assign me a share.'
