Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ رُقْيَةَ إِلاَّ مِنْ عَيْنٍ أَوْ حُمَةٍ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَرَوَى شُعْبَةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمِثْلِهِ ‏.‏

Ibn Abi ‘Umar narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from Husayn, from al-Sha‘bi, from ‘Imran ibn Husayn: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘There is no ruqyah except for the evil eye or a venomous bite or sting.’ Abu ‘Isa said: Shu‘bah narrated this hadith from Husayn, from al-Sha‘bi, from Buraydah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), with the same wording.
