Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا وَوَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ يَحْيَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرٌ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ قَالَ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَاجِعًا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَمَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ عِنْدَهُمْ رَجُلٌ مَجْنُونٌ مُوثَقٌ بِالْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ أَهْلُهُ إِنَّا قَدْ حُدِّثْنَا أَنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ هَذَا قَدْ جَاءَ بِخَيْرٍ فَهَلْ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ يُدَاوِيهِ قَالَ فَرَقَيْتُهُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَبَرَأَ فَأَعْطَوْنِي مِائَةَ شَاةٍ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ خُذْهَا فَلَعَمْرِي مَنْ أَكَلَ بِرُقْيَةِ بَاطِلٍ لَقَدْ أَكَلْتَ بِرُقْيَةِ حَقٍّ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Sa'id told us, from Zakariyya, and Waki' told us, Zakariyya told us, from Yahya, in his hadith - Muhammad ibn Yahya - Amir told me, from Kharijah ibn al-Salt, from his uncle, that he came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, then set off returning from him, and passed by a people who had among them a madman shackled in iron. His family said: We have been told that this companion of yours has brought good; does he have anything to cure him? He said: So I recited over him the Opening of the Book - Waki' said: for three days, twice each day - and he was cured, so they gave me a hundred sheep. I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and told him, and he said: Take them; by my life, whoever eats by a false incantation, you have eaten by a true one.
