Aishah said: When a man complained of pain the Prophet ﷺ said to him pointing to his saliva and mixing it with dust: (This is) the dust of our earth, mixed with saliva of us, so that our sick is remedied with the permission of our lord.

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْعَمْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ "لِلإِنْسَانِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى يَقُولُ بِرِيقِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ بِهِ فِي التُّرَابِ تُرْبَةُ أَرْضِنَا بِرِيقَةِ بَعْضِنَا يُشْفَى سَقِيمُنَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّنَا".

Narrated Alaqah ibn Sahar at-Tamimi: Alaqah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and embraced Islam. He then came back from him and passed some people who had a lunatic fettered in chains. His people said: We are told that your companion has brought some good. Have you something with which you can cure him? I then recited Surat al-Fatihah and he was cured. They gave me one hundred sheep. I then came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him of it. He asked: Is it only this? The narrator, Musaddad, said in his other version: Did you say anything other than this? I said: No. He said: Take it, for by my life, some accept if for a worthless chain, but you have done so for a genuine one.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ التَّمِيمِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏"أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْلَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَاجِعًا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَمَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ عِنْدَهُمْ رَجُلٌ مَجْنُونٌ مُوثَقٌ بِالْحَدِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَهْلُهُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّا حُدِّثْنَا أَنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ هَذَا قَدْ جَاءَ بِخَيْرٍ فَهَلْ عِنْدَكَ شَيْءٌ تُدَاوِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَقَيْتُهُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَرَأَ فَأَعْطَوْنِي مِائَةَ شَاةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ إِلَّا هَذَا"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ قُلْتَ غَيْرَ هَذَا ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ خُذْهَا فَلَعَمْرِي لَمَنْ أَكَلَ بِرُقْيَةِ بَاطِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَقَدْ أَكَلْتَ بِرُقْيَةِ حَقٍّ.

Kharijah bin al-Salt quoted his parental uncle as saying that he passed (some people): He recited Surat al-Fatihah over him for three days morning and evening. Whenever he finished it, he collected some of his saliva and spat it out, and he seemed as if he were set free from a bond. They gave him something as payment. He then came to the Prophet ﷺ. He then transmitted the rest of the tradition to the same effect as Musaddad narrated.

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ،‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي. ح وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ قَالَ فَرَقَاهُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ غُدْوَةً وَعَشِيَّةً كُلَّمَا خَتَمَهَا جَمَعَ بُزَاقَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تَفَلَ فَكَأَنَّمَا أُنْشِطَ مِنْ عِقَالٍ فَأَعْطَوْهُ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ مُسَدَّدٍ.

Narrated Abu Salih Zakwan as-Samman: A man from Aslam tribe said: I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A man from among his Companions came and said: Messenger of Allah! I have been stung last night, and I could not sleep till morning. He asked: What was that? He replied: A scorpion. He said: Oh, had you said in the evening: "I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created, " nothing would have harmed you, Allah willing.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: A man who was stung by a scorpion was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: Had he said the word: "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created, "he would not have been stung, or he said, "It would not have harmed him. "

حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي الزُّبَيْدِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَارِقٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَخَاشِنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَدِيغٍ لَدَغَتْهُ عَقْرَبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "لَوْ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يُلْدَغْ أَوْ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ".

Abu Saad al-KHudri said: Some of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ went on a journey. They alighted with a certain clan of the Arabs. Someone of them said: Our chief has been stung by a scorpion or bitten by a snake. Has any of you something which gives relief to our chief? A man of the people said: Yes, I swear by Allah. I shall apply charm ; but we asked you for hospitality and you denied it to us. I shall not apply charm until you give me some payment. So they promised to give some sheep to him. He came to him and recited Surat al-Fatihah over him and spat till he was cured, and ha seemed as if he were set free from a bond. So they gave him the payment that was agreed between them. They said: Apportion them. The man who applied charm said: Do not do it until we approach the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: From where did you learn that it was a charm ? you have done right. Apportion them, and give me a share along with you.

Narrated Alaqah ibn Sahar at-Tamimi: We proceeded from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and came to a clan of the Arabs. They said: We have been told that you have brought what is good from this man. Have you any medicine or a charm, for we have a lunatic in chains? We said: Yes. Then they brought a lunatic in chains. He said: I recited Surat al-Fatihah over him for three days, morning and evening. Whenever I finished it, I would collect my saliva and spit it out, and he seemed as if he were set free from a bond. He said: They gave me some payment, but I said: No, not until I ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He (the Prophet) said: Accept it, for, by my life, some accept it for a worthless charm, but you have done so for a genuine one.

Narrated Aishah: the wife of Prophet ﷺ said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ suffered from some pain, he recited mu'awwadhat in his heart and blew (them over him). When the pain became severe, I recited (them) over him and wiped him with his hand in the hope of its blessing.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: My mother intended to make me gain weight to send me to the (house of) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. But nothing which she desired benefited me till she gave me cucumber with fresh dates to eat. Then I gained as much weight (as she desired).
