So 'Umar called them, consulted them and informed
them that an epidemic had broken out in Sham.
Those people differed in their opinions. Some of

and we do not think that it is proper to give it
up," while others said (to 'Umar), "You
have along with you. other people and the

"Are you running away from what Allah had
ordained?" 'Umar said, "Would that
someone else had said such a thing, O Abu 'Ubaida!
Yes, we are running from what Allah had ordained
to what Allah has ordained. Don't you agree that
if you had camels that went down a valley having
two places, one green and the other dry, you would
graze them on the green one only if Allah had
ordained that, and you would graze them on the dry
one only if Allah had ordained that?" At that

to entertain them. Then the chief of that tribe
was bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and
he was given all sorts of treatment, but all in
vain. Some of them said, "Will you go to the
group (those travelers) who have dismounted near
you and see if one of them has something
useful?" They came to them and said, "O
the group! Our leader has been bitten by a snake
(or stung by a scorpion) and we have treated him
with everything but nothing benefited him Has
anyone of you anything useful?" One of them
replied, "Yes, by Allah, I know how to treat
with a Ruqya. But. by Allah, we wanted you to
receive us as your guests but you refused. I will
not treat your patient with a Ruqya till you fix
for us something as wages." Consequently they
agreed to give those travellers a flock of sheep.
The man went with them (the people of the tribe)
and started spitting (on the bite) and reciting
Surat-al-Fatiha till the patient was healed and
started walking as if he had not been sick. When
the tribe people paid them their wages they had
agreed upon, some of them (the Prophet's
companions) said, "Distribute (the
sheep)." But the one who treated with the
Ruqya said, "Do not do that till we go to
Allah's Apostle and mention to him what has
happened, and see what he will order us." So
they came to Allah's Apostle and mentioned the
story to him and he said, "How do you know
that Surat-al-Fatiha is a Ruqya? You have done the
right thing. Divide (what you have got) and assign
for me a share with you."

The Prophet once
came out to us and said, "Some nations were
displayed before me. A prophet would pass in front
of me with one man, and another with two men, and
another with a group of people. and another with
nobody with him. Then I saw a great crowd covering
the horizon and I wished that they were my
followers, but it was said to me, 'This is Moses
and his followers.' Then it was said to me,
'Look'' I looked and saw a big gathering with a
large number of people covering the horizon. It
was said, "Look this way and that way.' So I
saw a big crowd covering the horizon. Then it was
said to me, "These are your followers, and
among them there are 70,000 who will enter
Paradise without (being asked about their)
accounts. " Then the people dispersed and the
Prophet did not tell who those 70,000 were. So the
companions of the Prophet started talking about
that and some of them said, "As regards us,
we were born in the era of heathenism, but then we
believed in Allah and His Apostle . We think
however, that these (70,000) are our
offspring." That talk reached the Prophet who
said, "These (70,000) are the people who do
not draw an evil omen from (birds) and do not get
treated by branding themselves and do not treat
with Ruqya, but put their trust (only) in their
Lord." then 'Ukasha bin Muhsin got up and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Am I one of those
(70,000)?" The Prophet said, "Yes."
Then another person got up and said, "Am I
one of them?" The Prophet said, " 'Ukasha
has anticipated you."

companions went there and came back saying,
"O 'Aisha, the color of its water is like the
infusion of Henna leaves. The tops of the
date-palm trees near it are like the heads of the
devils." I asked. "O Allah's Apostle?

day he said, "O 'Aisha do you know that Allah

those things and said "That was the well
which was shown to me (in a dream) Its water
looked like the infusion of Henna leaves and its
date-palm trees looked like the heads of

companions to that well and looked at that and
there were date palms near to it. Then he returned
to me and said, 'By Allah the water of that well
was (red) like the infusion of Henna leaves and
its date-palms were like the heads of devils"
I said, O Allah's Apostle! Did you take those
materials out of the pollen skin?" He said,
