Sunan Ibn Majah 3515 (Book 31, Hadith 80) #32869
Permissibility of Reciting Ruqyah Against Scorpion Stings

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) allowed a family of the Ansar to recite Ruqyah against scorpion stings, as long as it did not contain any elements of shirk.

It was narrated that Jabir said: "There was a family among the Ansar, called Al 'Amr bin Hazm, who used to recite Ruqyah for the scorpion sting, but the Messenger of Allah forbade Ruqyah. They came to him and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! You have forbidden Ruqyah, but we recite Ruqyah against the scorpion’s sting.’ He said to them: 'Recite it to me.’ So they recited it to him, and he said: 'There is nothing wrong with this, this is confirmed.’"
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي الْخَصِيبِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عِيسَى، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ كَانَ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ آلُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ يَرْقُونَ مِنَ الْحُمَةِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ قَدْ نَهَى عَنِ الرُّقَى فَأَتَوْهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ قَدْ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الرُّقَى وَإِنَّا نَرْقِي مِنَ الْحُمَةِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ ‏"‏ اعْرِضُوا عَلَىَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَعَرَضُوهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهَذِهِ هَذِهِ مَوَاثِيقُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the permissibility of reciting ruqyah against scorpion stings. Ruqyah is a form of Islamic healing that involves reciting verses from the Quran and supplications to Allah for protection and healing. In this hadith, Jabir narrates that there was a family among the Ansar called Al 'Amr bin Hazm who used to recite ruqyah for scorpion stings. When they came to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he asked them to recite it for him so he could make sure it did not contain any elements of shirk or polytheism. After hearing their recitation, he said that there was nothing wrong with it and confirmed its permissibility. This hadith teaches us that we can use ruqyah as a form of healing if done correctly without involving any forms of shirk or polytheism in our supplications or invocations.
