IMPORTANCE OF SURAT AL-FĀTIHAH
It was narrated from Abu Saeed al-Khudri that the Prophet ﷺ described Surah Al-Fātiḥah as a ruqyah, and he approved of the ṣaḥābī who recited it as a ruqyah for the one who had been stung by a scorpion.
● [صحيح البخاري ٦٥١٢، صحيح مسلم ١٠٢٢]
Imām Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said: 'About reciting Surat Al-Fātiḥah:
“There was a time when I fell sick in Makkah, and I could not find a doctor or any medicine, so I treated myself by reciting it. I would take some Zamzam water and recite it over it several times, then drink it. I recovered fully by these means, then I began to do that whenever I felt alot of pain, and I benefited greatly from it.”
