رقية التربة والريقة للجروح
A short ruqyah applied directly to a wound or sting, combining a physical substance (moistened earth) with a spoken formula invoking Allah's permission to heal.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، تُرْبَةُ أَرْضِنَا، بِرِيقَةِ بَعْضِنَا، يُشْفَى سَقِيمُنَا، بِإِذْنِ رَبِّنَا
“In the name of Allah: the dust of our earth, with the saliva of one of us, by which our sick one is healed, by our Lord's permission.” (meaning, not a literal translation)
Reported that the Prophet ﷺ would moisten a finger with saliva, touch it to the ground, then apply it to the affected spot while reciting this formula — a specific, described physical action paired with the words, rather than the words alone.
Ibn al-Qayyim places this within his broader treatment of legitimate Prophetic ruqyah — a category he's careful to distinguish from folk charms, precisely because it pairs a real physical means with words attributing the actual cure to Allah alone. He notes the formula's closing phrase — 'by our Lord's permission' — as doing essential theological work: crediting the outcome to Allah's decree, not the earth or saliva themselves.
This isn't something modern wound care would recommend or study as a mechanism — legitimate modern wound treatment relies on cleaning, appropriate dressing, and medical attention where needed, which this entry's caution below reflects.
