Then some of them said, “Why don’t you go to those people who are staying (nearby)? Maybe one of them has something (for help)”. So they came to us and said, “O people, our leader has been stung and we have tried everything and nothing helped him. Do you have anything?” One of them said, “Yes, by Allah. I will perform Ruqyah for him, but by Allah we asked you for hospitality and you did not give us anything, so we will not perform Ruqyah for you unless you give us something in return”. So they agreed on a flock of sheep, then he started to blow on him and recite: Al-hamdu Lillahi Rabb il-`Alameen الحمد لله رب العالمين (Surah Faateha). Then he recovered quickly from his complaint and started walking and he was completely cured. After that they took the flock of sheep and some Sahabah said, “Let us share it out”. The one who had performed Ruqyah said: “Do not do anything until we come to Nabi ﷺ and tell Him ﷺ what happened and we will wait and see what Nabi ﷺ tells us to do”. So they came to the Nabi ﷺ and told what had happened. Nabi ﷺ asked: “How did you know that it is a Ruqyah?” and Nabi ﷺ added: “You did the right thing, share them out and give me a share” & Nabi ﷺ smiled.
