Kharijah bin al-Salt al-Tamimi narrates from his paternal uncle that he passed by a people who had with them a madman bound in iron chains. One of them said to him: "Do you have anything with which he can be treated? For your companion (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) has brought good." He said: I recited the Opening of the Book (al-Fatihah) over him for three days, twice every day, and he recovered. That man gave him a hundred sheep. He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and related the whole incident, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat, for whoever eats by means of a false ruqyah (is a sinner), but you have eaten by means of a true ruqyah." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey. He (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted, and a man dismounted beside him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to him and said: "Shall I not tell you of the most excellent part of the Qur'an?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited to him: "All praise is for Allah, the Lord of all the worlds." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
