Note 1

No charm except for the evil eye or venom

(1) The statement: "No charm except for the evil eye or venom": In Sharh As-Sunnah: This does not negate the permissibility of charms for other conditions with Allah’s remembrance. It means no charm is more beneficial than for these two, like saying: No hero but Ali, no sword but Dhulfiqar. Thus, in Al-Mirqat.

قوله

(١) قوله: لا رقية إلا من عين أو حمة: في (شرح السنة) لم يرد به نفي جواز الرقية من غيرهما، بل تجوز الرقية بذكر اللّٰهتعالى في جميع الأوجاع، ومعنى الحديث: لا رقية أولى وأنفع من رقيتهما، كما تقول: لا فتى إلا علي، ولا سيف إلا ذوالفقار. كذا في (المرقاة).
