Ali narrated: One night while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was praying, a scorpion stung his hand as he placed it on the ground. He killed it with his sandal. When he finished, he said: May Allah curse the scorpion; it spares neither a praying person nor others, a prophet nor others. Then he called for salt and water, mixed them in a vessel, poured it over the stung finger, wiped it, and sought protection with the two protective surahs .
