It is narrated from Abu Bakr bin Sulayman bin Abi Hathmah al-Qurashi that a man of the Ansar was afflicted with "namlah" (a kind of skin disease). He was told that Sayyidah al-Shifa' bint Abdullah performed ruqyah for it, so he came to her and asked her to perform ruqyah for him. She said: By Allah! I have not performed ruqyah since I accepted Islam. So the Ansari went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him (peace and blessings be upon him) what Sayyidah al-Shifa' (may Allah be pleased with her) had said. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) summoned Sayyidah al-Shifa' (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: "Recite that ruqyah to me." She recited it to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perform ruqyah for him, and teach this ruqyah to Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) as well, just as you taught her writing." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs.
