Quran 1 - Al
Finally, the servant says, "Guide us to the straight path..." Allah says: "This is for My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks for."
The Prophet recited:
Again, the Prophet answered, "I am not a reader."
The Bedouins approached the companions: "Is there any healer among you? Our chief is dying." al quran 1
Then the servant says, "You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help." Allah says: "This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks for."
When he says, "The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," Allah says: "My servant has glorified Me."
When he says, "Master of the Day of Judgment," Allah says: "My servant has honored Me." Finally, the servant says, "Guide us to the straight path
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path— The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked Your anger or of those who are astray.
The Bedouins were astonished. They gave the agreed sheep. When the companions returned to the Prophet and told him, he smiled and asked: "How did you know Al-Fatihah is a ruqyah?" Then he said: "You did well. Divide the sheep and give me a share as well."
She trembled. "O Messenger of Allah, I am more content with patience." The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
She did. And though her physical blindness remained, those who sat with her said she began to "see" the truth of things. She could tell a hypocrite from a believer by the sound of their voice. She could sense when danger approached a neighbor. Her heart became a lantern, lit by the seven verses. When she died, the Prophet himself attended her funeral and said: "She was not blind. She saw with the light of Al-Fatihah." Surah Al-Fatihah is not just a chapter to recite. It is a story of creation's longing for its Creator. It is a covenant: you praise Allah, and He guides you. You declare Him as Master of Judgment, and He grants you mercy. You ask for the path, and He opens it—through prophets, saints, and the straight road of Islam.

The Prophet was moved. He taught her Al-Fatihah and said, "Recite this after every prayer. It is a healing for the heart and the body."
One companion, whose name is sometimes given as Abu Hazm or simply a man from the Ansar, said: "I can recite ruqyah (healing incantation), but we are guests here. We ask for some payment."
