Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I suffered greatly from a scorpion that stung me last night." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you had said in the evening: (('I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created')), it would not have harmed you (it would not have stung you)."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "The evil eye is real (that is, it has an effect by the command of Allah Almighty), and if anything could overtake destiny, it would be the evil eye (but nothing can overtake destiny). When you are asked to perform ghusl (ritual washing), then perform ghusl. (Because if someone is afflicted by the evil eye, and the person who cast the evil eye performs ghusl and its water is used to wash the afflicted person, then he is cured.)"

Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to instruct me to perform ruqyah (spiritual healing) because of the evil eye.

‘Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that’ the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the people of Al-Hazm to perform ruqyah (incantation) for snake bites. And he said to Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her):“What is the reason that I find my brother’s children (i.e., the sons of Ja’far bin Abi Talib) thin? Are they hungry?”Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said:“No, they are quickly affected by the evil eye.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Perform ruqyah for them.”I presented a ruqyah before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said:“Recite this ruqyah over them.”

Narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw a girl in the house of Umm al-Mu'mineen Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), who had freckles on her face (that is, she had jaundice, her face was yellowish), and he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "She has been affected by the evil eye, perform ruqyah for her."

Narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her): When any of us would fall ill or suffer a wound, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would place his index finger on the ground and say, "In the name of Allah, the soil of our land, with the saliva of one of us, so that our sick may be cured by the permission of Allah, the Exalted."

Sayyidah Khawlah bint Hakim al-Salamiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever stops at any place and then says, "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created," nothing will harm him until he departs from that place.

‘Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that when any of us would fall ill, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would pass his right hand over them, then say:“O Master, remove this illness and grant health, You are the Giver of healing, Your healing alone is true, grant such a healing that no illness remains.”When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself fell ill and his illness became severe, I took his hand to do as he used to do (that is, I intended to pass his hand and recite this supplication), but he withdrew his hand from my hand and then said:“O Allah! Forgive me and join me with the Highest Companion.”Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) said that then when I looked, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had passed away. (That is, with this supplication, Allah the Exalted called him to Himself.)

Narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite this supplication: "O Master! Remove this illness. Healing is in Your hand alone; there is no one who can remove it except You."

Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We used to perform ruqyah (incantations) during the time of ignorance. We said, "O Messenger of Allah! What do you say about this?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Present your ruqyah to me. There is nothing wrong with ruqyah as long as it does not contain anything of shirk (associating partners with Allah)."
