The family of Amr ibn Hazm had a ruqyah they used for scorpion stings. They came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you have prohibited ruqyah, and we have a ruqyah we use for scorpion stings.' He said: 'Present it to me.' So they presented it to him, and he said: 'I see no harm in it. Whoever among you is able to benefit his brother, let him do so.'"
