When he [the Raaqee] returned, we said to him: ‘Did you treat him with a specific Ruqyaa or is it that you used to practice it before?’ He responded: ‘I did not practice Ruqyaa except with ‘The Mother of the Book [i.e. al Faatihah].’ We said: ‘No one should do anything until we consult the Messenger of Allaah – صلى الله عليه وسلم.When we reached Madeenah, we mentioned this to the Prophet – صلى الله عليه وسلم –, he said: ‘How did he know that it [al Faatihah] was [used as] Ruqyah?
