It is narrated about Hazrat Dhahhak that he did not see any harm in a person hanging something from the Book of Allah (after writing it), provided that he removes it at the time of bathing and relieving himself.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: One night, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing prayer when, during this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand on the ground and a scorpion stung him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) subdued the scorpion with his shoe and killed it. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he said: "May Allah's curse be upon the scorpion; it does not spare the one who is praying nor the one who is not praying." Or he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It does not spare the Prophet nor the non-Prophet." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for salt and water, and placed them in a vessel. Then he began to pour this water on the place where the scorpion had stung and started rubbing it, and recited the Mu'awwidhatayn (the last two surahs of the Qur'an) and blew upon it.

It is narrated about Hazrat Aswad that he used to use amulets through a woman from Himyar.

It is narrated from Ibrahim who says that the amulet for a scorpion is this: Shajjat Qaraniyyah Milhat Bahrin Qifta.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aswad that he says: I presented an amulet before Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), so she said, "These are firm matters."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that he said: A man who had been stung by a scorpion was brought to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If this man had said: I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of His creation, he would not have been stung," or he said: "This scorpion would not have harmed him."

It is narrated from Ibrahim. He says that the earlier people used to perform ruqyah (incantations), but they did not like to blow while reciting the incantations.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Al-Hazhaz that he says: I went to Hazrat Dhahhak while he was unwell. I said to him, "O Abu Muhammad! Should I not perform ruqyah (spiritual healing) for you?" He replied, "Why not (rather, do so), but do not blow (with your breath)." Abu Al-Hazhaz says: So I performed ruqyah for him using the Mu'awwidhatayn (the last two chapters of the Qur'an).

It is narrated from Ayyub who says that Hazrat Ikrimah said, "I do not like to say in amulets or incantations: 'Bismillah! Uf.'"

It is narrated about Hazrat Hakam and Hazrat Hammad that they did not like spitting lightly (thathkarna) in incantations and amulets.
