Syedna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that some of the noble companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) went to an Arab tribe and asked them for hospitality, but the people of that tribe refused to host them. Meanwhile, the chief of that tribe was bitten by something poisonous. They asked those companions: "Is there anyone among you who can perform ruqyah (spiritual healing) or treat him?" They replied: "You refused to host us, so we will not perform ruqyah unless you give us some compensation." So they agreed to give a flock of sheep. The one who was to perform ruqyah began reciting Surah Al-Fatiha, gathered his saliva in his mouth, and then applied it with a puff. The man was cured. They brought the sheep, but the companions said: "We will not take these sheep until we ask the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about this." When they asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, he smiled and said to the one who performed ruqyah: "How did you know that this Surah can be used for ruqyah? Take the sheep and allocate a share for me as well."
