Hadith #18
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ رُبَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَزَلُوا رُفَقَاءَ رُفْقَةٌ مَعَ فُلَانٍ وَرُفْقَةٌ مَعَ فُلَانٍ قَالَ فَنَزَلْتُ فِي رُفْقَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَكَانَ مَعَنَا أَعْرَابِيٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ فَنَزَلْنَا بِأَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ الْأَعْرَابِ وَفِيهِمْ
امْرَأَةٌ حَامِلٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا الْأَعْرَابِيُّ أَيَسُرُّكِ أَنْ تَلِدِي غُلَامًا إِنْ أَعْطَيْتِنِي شَاةً وَلَدْتِ غُلَامًا فَأَعْطَتْهُ شَاةً وَسَجَعَ لَهَا أَسَاجِيعَ قَالَ فَذَبَحَ الشَّاةَ فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ الْقَوْمُ يَأْكُلُونَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذِهِ الشَّاةُ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ مُتَبَرِّيًا مُسْتَنْبِلًا مُتَقَيِّئًا

English Translation
Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us, Zuhayr narrated to us, from al-Aswad ibn Qays, from Rubayh, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه), that they went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. They stopped and a slave girl came to them and said: The chief of the village has been stung, and our men are absent. Is there anyone among you who can perform ruqyah? A man went with her whom we did not consider to be a practitioner of ruqyah. He recited over him and the man was cured. He was given thirty sheep, and we were given milk to drink. When he returned, we said: Were you a practitioner of ruqyah, or did you used to do ruqyah? He said: No, I only recited Umm al-Kitab (al-Fatihah). We said: Do not do anything until we ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When we reached Madinah, we mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: 'How did he know it was a ruqyah? Divide the sheep among yourselves and assign me a share.'
