It was
narrated from a man from the family of Sharid whose name was
‘Amr,
that his father said: “There was a leper among the delegation of
Thaqif. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent word to him: ‘Go back, for we have
accepted your oath of allegiance.’”

It was
narrated from ‘Aishah: “Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) fell ill,
he
would recite the Mu’awwidhat and blow, and when his pain grew
worse, I would recite over him and wipe his hand over him, hoping for
its blessing.”

It was
narrated that Zainab said: “There was an old woman who used to
enter upon us and perform Ruqyah from erysipelas: Contagious disease
which causes fever and leaves a red coloration of the skin. We had a
bed with long legs, and when ‘Abdullah entered he would clear his
throat and make noise. He entered one day and when she heard his
voice she veiled herself from him. He came and sat beside me, and
touched me, and he found a sting. He said: ‘What is this?’ I
said: ‘An amulet against erysipelas.’ He pulled it, broke it and
threw it away, and said: ‘The family of ‘Abdullah has no need of
polytheism.’ I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “Ruqyah
(i.e., which consist of the names of idols and devils etc.), amulets
and Tiwalah (charms) are polytheism.’”
“I said: ‘I went out one day and so-and-so looked at me, and my eye began to water on the side nearest him. When I recited Ruqyah for it, it stopped, but if I did not recite Ruqyah it watered again.’ He said: ‘That is Satan, if you obey him he leaves you alone but if you disobey him he pokes you with his finger in your eye. But if you do what the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do, that will be better for you and more effective in healing. Sprinkle water in your eye and say: Adhhibil-bas Rabban-nas, washfi Antash-Shafi, la shifa’a illa shafi’uka, shafi’an la yughadiru saqaman (Take away the pain, O Lord of mankind, and grant healing, for You are the Healer, and there is no healing but Your healing that leaves no trace of sickness).’”

It was
narrated from ‘Imran bin Husain that the Prophet (ﷺ) saw a
man
with a brass ring on his hand. He said: “What is this ring?” He
said: “It is for Wahinah.”* He said: “Take it off, for it will
only
increase you in weakness.”

It was
narrated that Umm Jundub said: “I saw the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
stoning the ‘Aqabah Pillar from the bottom of the valley on the
Day
of Sacrifice, then he went away. A woman from Khath’am followed
him, and with her was a son of hers who had been afflicted, he could
not speak. She said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! This is my son, and he
is
all I have left of my family. He has been afflicted and cannot
speak.’
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Bring me some water.’
So it was
brought, and he washed his hands and rinsed out his mouth.
Then he
gave it to her and said: ‘Give him some to drink, and pour
some over
him, and seek Allah’s healing for him.’” She (Umm
Jundub) said: “I met
that woman and said: ‘Why don’t you give
me some?’ She said: ‘It is
only for the sick one.’ I met that
woman one year later and asked her
about the boy. She said: ‘He
recovered and became (very) smart, not
like the rest of the people.’”

It was
narrated from ‘Ali that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The
best remedy is the Qur’an.”

narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) enjoined
killing
Dhit-Tufytain* for it takes away the sight and causes
miscarriage.”

narrated from Salim, from his father, that the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: “Kill snakes, and kill Dhit-Tufytain* and the Abtar**,
for they take away the sight and cause miscarriage.”

narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) used to
like
good signs and hate bad omens.”

‘Adwa* and no omen, but I like Al-Fa’l As-Salih.”**
