Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ ثَلَاثِينَ رَاكِبًا قَالَ فَنَزَلْنَا بِقَوْمٍ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ فَسَأَلْنَاهُمْ أَنْ يُضَيِّفُونَا فَأَبَوْا قَالَ فَلُدِغَ سَيِّدُهُمْ قَالَ فَأَتَوْنَا فَقَالُوا فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ يَرْقِي مِنْ الْعَقْرَبِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَنَا وَلَكِنْ لَا أَفْعَلُ حَتَّى تُعْطُونَا شَيْئًا قَالُوا فَإِنَّا نُعْطِيكُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ شَاةً قَالَ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ فَبَرَأَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَبَضْنَا الْغَنَمَ قَالَ عَرَضَ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا مِنْهَا قَالَ فَكَفَفْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ اقْسِمُوهَا وَاضْرِبُوا لِي مَعَكُمْ بِسَهْمٍ.
English Translation
Abu Mu'awiyah told us, Al-A'mash told us, from Ja'far ibn Iyas, from Abu Nadrah, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent us on an expedition of thirty riders. We came down among a people of the Arabs and asked them to host us, but they refused. Then their chief was stung. They came to us and said: "Is there among you anyone who can perform ruqyah for a scorpion sting?" I said: "Yes, I can, but I will not do it until you give us something." They said: "We will give you thirty sheep." So I recited over him Al-hamdu lillah seven times, and he recovered. When we took the sheep, some hesitation arose in our minds about it, so we held back until we came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and mentioned that to him. He said: "How did you know it was a ruqyah? Divide it, and allot me a share along with you."
