Surah al-Fatihah

✨ بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ.
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ ، الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ ، مٰلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّيْنِ ، إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِيْنُ ، اِهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيْمَ ، صِرَاطَ الَّذِيْنَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوْبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّآلِّيْنَ.

Translation :

In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very Merciful. All praises and thanks are for Allah, the Lord of all the worlds, The All-Merciful, The Very Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgement. You Alone we worship, You Alone we ask for help. Guide us on the Straight Path, the path of those whom You have favoured, not of those who incur (Your) anger nor of those who have gone astray. (1:1-7)

Hadith:

The hadīth mentions: “The man went with them (the people of the tribe) and started spitting (on the bite) and reciting Sūrah al-Fātihah until the patient was healed and started walking as if he had not been sick.” (Bukhārī)

It was narrated from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ described Sūrah al-Fātihah as a ruqyah, and he approved of the Sahābī (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) who recited it as a ruqyah for the one who had been stung by a scorpion. (Bukhārī)

Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh) said: ‘If one’s faith, soul, and spirit are strong, and if he internalises the meaning and essence of Sūrah al-Fātihah, recites it and then blows on the affected person followed by his spittle, this will counter the effects incurred by evil beings. And Allah knows best.’ (Zād al-Maʿād)
