Arabic hadith text
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا رُقْيَةَ إِلَّا مِنْ عَيْنٍ أَوْ حُمَةٍ أَوْ دَمٍ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Translation
Anas reported God’s messenger as saying

“No invocation is to be used except for the evil eye, or a scorpion sting, or bleeding.”*Abu Dawud transmitted it.* The text has dam (blood), but it is said that nose-bleeding in particular is what is meant here. Cf. Mirqat, iv, 5U.
