Hadith of Kharijah ibn al-Salt from his uncle (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ (١)، ٢١٨٣٥ - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا، وَوَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا، قَالَ يَحْيَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ: حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرٌ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ، قَالَ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ: عَنْ عَمِّهِ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَاجِعًا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، فَمَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ عِنْدَهُمْ رَجُلٌ مَجْنُونٌ مُوثَقٌ بِالْحَدِيدِ، فَقَالَ أَهْلُهُ: إِنَّا قَدْ حُدِّثْنَا أَنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ هَذَا قَدْ جَاءَ بِخَيْرٍ، فَهَلْ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ يُدَاوِيهِ؟ قَالَ: فَرَقَيْتُهُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ، قَالَ وَكِيعٌ: ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَبَرَأَ، فَأَعْطَوْنِي مِائَةَ شَاةٍ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ: " خُذْهَا فَلَعَمْرِي مَنْ أَكَلَ بِرُقْيَةِ بَاطِلٍ لَقَدْ أَكَلْتَ بِرُقْيَةِ حَقٍّ " (٢)، ،

Kharijah bin Salat (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his uncle that once he went to the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). When he was returning, he passed by a people who had a madman whom they had bound with iron chains. His family members said, "We have heard that your companion has brought goodness. Does he have anything by which he can treat him?" He says, "I recited Surah Al-Fatihah over him twice daily for three days, and he was cured. Those people gave me a hundred sheep. I went to the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and related this incident. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Take them, for by my life! Some people eat from unlawful incantations, while you have eaten from a lawful and true incantation.'"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ: أَقْبَلْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، فَقَالُوا: نُبِّئْنَا أَنَّكُمْ جِئْتُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ بِخَيْرٍ، فَهَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ دَوَاءٌ أَوْ رُقْيَةٌ؟ فَإِنَّ عِنْدَنَا مَعْتُوهًا فِي الْقُيُودِ. قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَجَاءُوا بِالْمَعْتُوهِ فِي الْقُيُودِ، قَالَ: فَقَرَأْتُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ غُدْوَةً وَعَشِيَّةً، أَجْمَعُ بُزَاقِي، ثُمَّ أَتْفُلُ، قَالَ: فَكَأَنَّمَا نَشِطَ مِنْ عِقَالٍ قَالَ: فَأَعْطَوْنِي جُعْلًا، فَقُلْتُ: لَا حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ: " كُلْ لَعَمْرِي مَنْ أَكَلَ بِرُقْيَةِ بَاطِلٍ لَقَدْ أَكَلْتَ بِرُقْيَةِ حَقٍّ " (١)، ،
