حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الرُّقَی فَجَائَ آلُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ کَانَتْ عِنْدَنَا رُقْيَةٌ نَرْقِي بِهَا مِنْ الْعَقْرَبِ وَإِنَّکَ نَهَيْتَ عَنْ الرُّقَی قَالَ فَعَرَضُوهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا أَرَی بَأْسًا مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْکُمْ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَنْفَعْهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5731
Jabir reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) prohibited incantation. Then the people of Amr b. Hazm came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: We know an incantation which we use for curing the sting of the scorpion but you have prohibited it. They recited (the words of incantation) before him, whereupon he said: I do not see any harm (in it), so he who amongst you is competent to do good to his brother should do that.
