Combining the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) statement, “They do not seek ruqyah,” with the fact that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was given ruqyah

Question:
We begin with the phone calls and take a call from Abu Muhammad from al-Kharj. Go ahead, Abu Muhammad. What is your opinion? And upon you be peace. My question is about a hadith that says seventy thousand will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment, no punishment and no reckoning, and among them are those who do not seek ruqyah. Well, there is a report (athar) about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) who sought ruqyah, and you mentioned that one of the Prophet’s wives was given ruqyah. How do we reconcile this hadith? Thank you.

Answer:
The hadith “They do not seek ruqyah” means they do not ask for ruqyah; they do not ask anyone to perform ruqyah for them, out of self-sufficiency in Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and to avoid needing anyone other than Him. So they do not ask anyone for ruqyah because of their great reliance upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and their sincerity to Him. Yes.
