Does healing through ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) cover every illness?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Ruqyah, O Shaykh, does it cover every illness? Every what? Every illness.

The Shaykh : Yes, how?

The questioner : Even the graft.

The Shaykh : Everything, even wounds. These are called al-naqubah or al-namlah. It is beneficial to write on them the words of Allah the Exalted:
and it is hit by a whirlwind containing fire and is burnedفَأَصَابَهَا إِعْصَارٌ فِيهِ نَارٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:266]
and it heals. It dries up, meaning there is not a week or two that passes without it drying and going away. This is a tested matter.

The questioner : Yes, how?

The Shaykh : What chapter and how? What?

The questioner : The hadith:
No Ruqyah except for the (evil) eyeلا رقية إلا من عين أو
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2057Sahih (Darussalam)
mouth.

The Shaykh : Yes, authentic. Yes.

The questioner : It does not restrict it.

The Shaykh : It has an addition. This is an additional restriction. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ruqyah for other than the evil eye and fever. He used to recite the Mu'awwidhat over himself while he was ill, for other than the evil eye or fever.
