What is the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) treated that Bedouin?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the process of ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for possession by jinn, there is a hadith from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he treated a Bedouin. What are the verses with which a person performs ruqyah?

The Shaykh : As for the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ruqyah, that is correct; he used verses from the Qur'an. As for what the specific ruqyah was, we have not found a text specifying the ruqyah with which the Messenger (peace be upon him) treated. However, the Qur'an, as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) described it in the Qur'an itself, is a healing for what is in the chests. So any verses, especially those known to be what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used for ruqyah or with which he was treated, such as the two Mu'awwidhat (protective chapters) and
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One, قل هو الله أحد
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
and
Say: O you disbelievers! قل يا أيها الكافرون
, these are known protective chapters, and the one performing ruqyah uses them, as well as other noble verses related to seeking help from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to expel that jinn from the possessed human. In short, it is correct that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited over some people and extracted the jinn from them. As for what he recited and used for ruqyah, Allah knows best. But it is known in the authentic Sunnah that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was bewitched by Labid the Jew and remained in his bed for months ill, until two persons came to him during his illness, and let us say frankly that they were angels, one at his head and the other at his feet. One of them said, while they were hearing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his bed, one to the other: "What is the matter with the man?" He said: "He is bewitched," meaning he is under a spell. He said: "Who bewitched him?" He said: "Labid, this Jew." "With what did he bewitch him?" "With a comb and a lock of hair in a well." I think it was mentioned in the hadith and I have forgotten it. The point is that he (peace be upon him) woke up or understood this conversation that took place between the angels, so he said to 'A'ishah:
Did you know that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) sent to me two angels... هل علمت بأن الله عزّ وجل أرسل إليّ ملكين ...
and he mentioned this story. So he ordered 'Ali to go to that well, and he extracted something wrapped with hair of the Messenger and a comb. As soon as this was unwrapped, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had recited over himself the Mu'awwidhat that we mentioned earlier, he (peace be upon him) was as if he had been untied from a rope. These Mu'awwidhat were released from him, in addition to the breaking of the spell. So the point of these Mu'awwidhat is that they are known to be the best thing with which a patient is treated. Also, al-Fatihah (the Opening), and there is a known story in Sahih al-Bukhari regarding this. This is the answer to what you asked.
