As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Hiring - 18th Safar 1431 (2nd February 2010)
Narrated Abu Said (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
Some of the companions of the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) went
on a journey till they reached some of the 'Arab tribes (at night). They
asked the latter to treat them as their guests but they refused. The chief
of that tribe was then bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and they
tried their best to cure him but in vain. Some of them said (to the
others), "Nothing has benefited him, will you go to the people who resided
here at night, it may be that some of them might possess something (as
treatment)," They went to the group of the companions (of the Prophet
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)) and said, "Our chief has been bitten by a
snake (or stung by a scorpion) and we have tried everything but he has not
benefitted. Have you got anything (useful)?" One of them replied, "Yes, by
Allah! I can recite a Ruqya, but as you have refused to accept us as your
guests, I will not recite the Ruqya for you unless you fix for us some
wages for it." They agrees to pay them a flock of sheep. One of them then
went and recited (Suratul-Fatiha): 'All the praises are for the Lord of the
Worlds' and puffed over the chief who became all right as if he was
released from a chain, and got up and started walking, showing no signs of
sickness.
They paid them what they agreed to pay. Some of them (i.e. the companions)
then suggested to divide their earnings among themselves, but the one who
performed the recitation said, "Do not divide them till we go to the
Prophet and narrate the whole story to him, and wait for his order." So,
they went to Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and narrated
the story. Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked, "How did
you come to know that Surat-ul-Fatiha was recited as Ruqya?" Then he added,
"You have done the right thing. Divide (what you have earned) and assign a
share for me as well." The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) smiled
thereupon.
