حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، بِالْكُوفَةِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ قَتَّةَ، (١) عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْثًا فَكُنْتُ فِيهِمْ، فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى قَرْيَةٍ، فَاسْتَطْعَمْنَا (٢) أَهْلَهَا، فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُطْعِمُونَا شَيْئًا، فَجَاءَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقَرْيَةِ، فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْعَرَبِ فِيكُمْ رَجُلٌ يَرْقِي؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: قُلْتُ: وَمَا ذَاكَ (٣) ؟ قَالَ: مَلِكُ الْقَرْيَةِ يَمُوتُ. قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْنَا مَعَهُ فَرَقَيْتُهُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ، فَرَدَّدْتُهَا (٤) عَلَيْهِ، ، مِرَارًا، فَعُوفِيَ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا بِطَعَامٍ، وَبِغَنَمٍ تُسَاقُ، فَقَالَ أَصْحَابِي: لَمْ يَعْهَدْ إِلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا بِشَيْءٍ، لَا نَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى نَأْتِيَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسُقْنَا الْغَنَمَ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَحَدَّثْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ: " كُلْ وَأَطْعِمْنَا مَعَكَ، وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أُلْقِيَ فِي رَوْعِي (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) sent out a detachment: I was also included in it. We reached a settlement and requested hospitality from the people of the tribe, but they refused to host us. After a short while, one of them came and said, "O group of Arabs! Does anyone among you know how to perform ruqyah (spiritual healing)?" I asked him, "What happened?" He said, "The chief of our settlement is about to die." We went with him, and I recited Surah Al-Fatiha several times and performed ruqyah on him, and he recovered. They sent us food and goats to take with us. My companions said that the Prophet (ﷺ) had not given us any instruction regarding this, so we will not accept it until we reach the Prophet (ﷺ)." Thus, we drove the goats and presented ourselves before the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned the whole incident. The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled and said, "How did you know that it is a ruqyah?" Then he said, "Take that herd of goats and include my share in it as well." I submitted, "It just came to my heart."
