Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent us on an expedition. We passed by a village and asked them for hospitality, but they refused to host us. We camped at a place outside the settlement. The chief of those people was bitten by something poisonous. They came to us and said: Is there anyone among you who can perform ruqyah (spiritual healing)? I said: Yes, I perform ruqyah. They said: Please perform ruqyah for our companion. I said: No, we had asked you for hospitality, but you refused to host us. They said: We will give you a reward for it. The narrator says: So they agreed to give us thirty (30) goats. I went to that man, started passing my hand over him, and began reciting Surah Al-Fatihah as ruqyah, until the man was cured. So we received the goats. We thought: We have taken the goats, but we do not formally know how to perform ruqyah, so we will not eat from these goats until we ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about it. Then we presented ourselves before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and mentioned this matter to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: How did you know that Surah Al-Fatihah can be used as ruqyah? I replied: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! I did not know that it can be used as ruqyah; it was just something that Allah put into my mind. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Eat from it, and set aside a share for me as well.
