Hadith on Ruqyah: Gabriel invokes Allah to heal the Prophet

Abu Sa’id reported: The angel Gabriel came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said, “O Muhammad, do you have a complaint of illness?” The Prophet said, “Yes.” Gabriel said, “In the name of Allah, I perform protective recitations over you from everything that harms you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye. May Allah heal you. In the name of Allah, I perform recitations over you.”
