I was sitting with Saeed bin Jubayr when he asked, "Which of you saw the shooting star that fell last night?"I said, "I did." Then I added, "I was not engaged in prayer, but I had been stung."He asked, "What did you do then?"I replied, "I sought a ruqya."He asked, "What made you do that?"I said, "A hadith that Shaybi narrated to us."He asked, "And what did Shaybi narrate to you?"I said, "He narrated to us from Burayda bin Husayb al-Aslami that he said, 'There is no ruqya except for the evil eye or a venomous sting.'"Saeed responded, "He has done well who stops at what he has heard. But Ibn Abbas narrated to us from the Prophet ﷺ that he said, 'The nations were shown to me. I saw a prophet with a small group, a prophet with one or two men, and a prophet with no one at all. Then a great multitude was raised up before me, and I thought they were my nation. It was said to me, This is Musa ﷺ and his people. But look toward the horizon. So I looked, and there was a great multitude. Then it was said to me, Look toward the other horizon. There too was a great multitude. It was said to me, This is your nation, and among them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning and without punishment.'Then the Prophet ﷺ rose and entered his house. The people began discussing those who would enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment.Some said, "Perhaps they are the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."Others said, "Perhaps they are those born into Islam who never associated anything with Allah."They mentioned other possibilities as well. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to them and asked, "What are you discussing?"They told him, and he said, "They are those who do not seek ruqya, do not practice cautery, do not see omens in things, and rely upon their Lord."Ukasha bin Mihsan stood up and said, "Pray to Allah to make me one of them."The Prophet said, "You are one of them."Then another man stood up and said, "Pray to Allah to make me one of them."He said, "Ukasha has preceded you in this."
حدثنا سعيد بن منصور حدثنا هشيم أخبرنا
كنت عند سعيد بن جبير فقال أيكم رأى الكوكب الذي انقض البارحة قلت أنا ثم قلت أما إني لم أكن في صلاة ولكني لدغت قال فماذا صنعت قلت استرقيت قال فما حملك على ذلك قلت حديث حدثناه الشعبي فقال وما حدثكم الشعبي قلت حدثنا عن بريدة بن حصيب الأسلمي أنه قال لا رقية إلا من عين أو حمة فقال قد أحسن من انتهى إلى ما سمع ولكن حدثنا ابن عباس عن النبي ﷺ قال عرضت علي الأمم فرأيت النبي ومعه الرهيط والنبي ومعه الرجل والرجلان والنبي ليس معه أحد إذ رفع لي سواد عظيم فظننت أنهم أمتي فقيل لي هذا موسى ﷺ وقومه ولكن انظر إلى الأفق فنظرت فإذا سواد عظيم فقيل لي انظر إلى الأفق الآخر فإذا سواد عظيم فقيل لي هذه أمتك ومعهم سبعون ألفا يدخلون الجنة بغير حساب ولا عذاب ثم نهض فدخل منزله فخاض الناس في أولئك الذين يدخلون الجنة بغير حساب ولا عذاب فقال بعضهم فلعلهم الذين صحبوا رسول الله ﷺ وقال بعضهم فلعلهم الذين ولدوا في الإسلام ولم يشركوا بالله وذكروا أشياء فخرج عليهم رسول الله ﷺ فقال ما الذي تخوضون فيه فأخبروه فقال هم الذين لا يرقون ولا يسترقون ولا يتطيرون وعلى ربهم يتوكلون فقام عكاشة بن محصن فقال ادع الله أن يجعلني منهم فقال أنت منهم ثم قام رجل آخر فقال ادع الله أن يجعلني منهم فقال سبقك بها عكاشة
