The Prophet's guidance in treating the snake's bite

We mentioned the Hadith in which the Prophet b said,

"There is no Ruqyah more beneficial than one recited for the evil eye and fever."

In addition, Ibn Maj'ah said that A'esha narrated, "The Messenger of Allah b allowed using the Ruqyah for the scorpions and the snakes bite." Further, Ibn Shihab Az-Zuhni narrated, "One of the companions of the Messenger of Allah was stung by a snake. The Prophet sSs said, 'Is there a person who could recite Ruqyahl’ They said, 'O Messenger of Allah ! The children of Al- 'Hazm used to recite a Ruqyah for snake's bite but abandoned the practice when you prohibited using - Ruqyah.' He said, 'Summon 'Umarah bin 'Hazm." When they summoned him, he recited his Ruqyah to the Prophet who said that there is no objection to it. Hence, the Prophet b allowed him to use it, and 'Umarah recited the Ruqyah on the victim." [Al-Bokhary, Muslim, An-Nasa'y and Ahmad].
