Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ح وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الرُّقَى قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَأَتَاهُ خَالِي وَكَانَ يَرْقِي مِنْ الْعَقْرَبِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ آلُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَنَا رُقْيَةٌ نَرْقِي بِهَا مِنْ الْعَقْرَبِ وَإِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ عَنْ الرُّقَى قَالَ فَعَرَضُوهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا أَرَى بَأْسًا مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَنْفَعْهُ.
English Translation
Abu Mu'awiyah told us: al-A'mash told us - and Ibn Numayr, from al-A'mash - from Abu Sufyan, from Jabir, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade ruqyah (incantations). Ibn Numayr said in his narration: Then my maternal uncle came to him, and he used to perform ruqyah for scorpion stings. The family of Amr ibn Hazm came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, we used to have a ruqyah with which we treated scorpion stings, but you have forbidden ruqyah." He said: So they presented it to him, and he said: "I see no harm in it. Whoever among you is able to benefit his brother, let him benefit him."
