We stopped at a place, and a woman came to us and said, "The chief of our settlement has been stung by a scorpion. Is there anyone among you who can recite over him?"One of our men got up and went with her, though we never thought he knew any healing recitation. He recited Fatihah over him, and the man recovered. They gave him some sheep and gave us milk to drink.We asked him, "Did you know a healing recitation?"He replied, "I recited nothing over him but Fatihah."I said, "Do not touch these sheep until we come to the Prophet ﷺ."So we went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him what had happened, and he said, "How did he know that it was a healing recitation? Divide the sheep, and set aside a share for me along with yourselves."Except that in another version he said, one of our men got up and went with her, a man we never suspected of knowing any healing recitation.
