Some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ passed by one of the Arab tribes, but the tribe did not offer them any hospitality. While they were in that situation, the chief of that tribe was stung.The tribesmen asked, "Do you have any medicine or anyone who can perform ruqyah?"The companions replied, "You did not offer us hospitality, and we will not do anything unless you give us a payment."So the tribe agreed to give them a flock of sheep. One of the companions began reciting the Mother of the Quran while gathering his saliva and spitting, and the chief recovered.When the sheep were brought, the companions said, "We will not take them until we ask the Prophet ﷺ."So they asked him, and he laughed and said, "How did you know it was a ruqyah? Take them, and assign me a share."
حدثني محمد بن بشار حدثنا غندر حدثنا شعبة عن أبي بشر عن أبي المتوكل
أن ناسا من أصحاب النبي ﷺ أتوا على حي من أحياء العرب فلم يقروهم فبينما هم كذلك إذ لدغ سيد أولئك فقالوا هل معكم من دواء أو راق فقالوا إنكم لم تقرونا ولا نفعل حتى تجعلوا لنا جعلا فجعلوا لهم قطيعا من الشاء فجعل يقرأ بأم القرآن ويجمع بزاقه ويتفل فبرأ فأتوا بالشاء فقالوا لا نأخذه حتى نسأل النبي ﷺ فسألوه فضحك وقال وما أدراك أنها رقية خذوها واضربوا لي بسهم
