As for the hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 5737, this does not contradict these established legal realities that are certain in Islam. That is, any legal act in which its performer does not have sincerity for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is void; this is a matter that is certain in the Shari'ah. Therefore, when a text like this authentic hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 5737 comes, it should be interpreted and given a figurative interpretation that does not conflict with this certain legal matter, which is that a lack of sincerity in worship for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) invalidates the act. This is the rule here. He says: Sahih al-Bukhari 5737 How is it if there is success? The answer is that the intention here is not mere recitation, but rather the healing that is achieved through ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with the Qur'an, because this is the reason the hadith was narrated. It came in *Sahih al-Bukhari* regarding the presence of the people, perhaps they had a cure, so one of them came to him and presented the problem of their chief . I think it was ten heads of sheep or something like that, do you remember?
The questioner : Approximately
The Shaykh: Eh, the important thing is that he went, glory be to Allah, and Allah inspired him, and he recited al-Fatihah over him, and the pain disappeared. So he took the sheep. But some doubt arose within them, as is the case now with the doubt from which this question stems. They said, "We will not act on this until we ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So he answered them with this hadithSahih al-Bukhari 5737, meaning the Book of Allah in the case of ruqyah, and not the Book of Allah in the case of teaching. So there is no conflict between this hadith and the hadith of the bow from one side, and there is no conflict between this hadith and the general rule of which we explained to you some of its specifics. Yes.
You are most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's Book.
إن أحق ما أخذتم عليه أجرا كتاب اللهYou are most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's Book.
إن أحق ما أخذتم عليه أجرا كتاب اللهYou are most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's Book.
أحق ما أخذتم عليه أجرا كتاب اللهThat the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a group of his Companions on a secret mission, and they camped near some Bedouins in a land. They asked them to host them—to take them in as guests—yes—but they refused. So they camped far away from them. And Allah the Mighty and Majestic, by His great wisdom, sent a scorpion that stung the chief of the tribe, and he was unable to sleep. So he ordered one of his followers, "Look at these people, the non-Arabs; perhaps they have a cure."
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم أرسل طائفة من أصحابه سرية فنزلوا في جانب بعض الأعراب مخيمين في أرض فطلبوا منهم أن يقروهم يستضيفونهم - نعم - فأبوا فنزلوا بعيدين عنهم فقدر الله عز وجل بحكمته العظيمة أن أرسل عقربا فلدغت رئيس القبيلة وما استطاع أن ينام فأمر أحد أتباعه انظروا هؤلاء القومSo he said, "I will perform ruqyah on him in exchange for sheep."
