Ibn `Abbas narrated: 'Some of the companions of the Prophet passed by some people staying at a place where there was water and one of those people had been stung by a scorpion. A man from those staying near the water, came and said to the companions of the Prophet, "Is there anyone among you who can do Ruqya as near the water there is a person who has been stung by a scorpion." So one of the Prophet's companions went to him and recited Surat-al-Fatiha for a sheep as his fees. The patient was cured and the man brought the sheep to his companions who disliked that and said, "You have taken wages for reciting Allah's Book." When they arrived at
[Sahih Bukhari (7/131)

This hadith version
conveys the message.
Another version exist of a snake bite to the chief of a tribe
Q2? SOMEONE SAID THAT RECITATION OF SURAH
The man that recited was
an ordinary reciter
This is a statement from the Sufi and we have no evidence of that
Not event the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) subdued the jinn.
The dua of Sulaiman (AS)
is 38:35-39
To subdue the jinn is exclusive to Sulaiman (AS); nobody else.
It is wrong for us to
subdue jinns.
He said: "My Lord!
Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other
after me: Verily, You are the Bestower." So, We subjected to him the wind,
it blew gently to his order whithersoever he willed, And also the Shayatin
(devils) from the jinns (including) every kind of builder and diver, And also
others bound in fetters. [Saying of Allah to Sulaiman (Solomon)]: "This is
Our gift, so spend you or withhold, no account will be asked."
(Sad 38:35-39)
This is the famous dua of Prophet Sulaiman (AS)
Allah's gift to Sulaiman (AS)
Q3? IS IT TRUE THAT WE CAN ASK THE JINN TO HELP US, IN PERSONEL CAUSE?
You are not allowed to subdue the jinn.
If the jinn helps you without you soliciting his help this is permissible
because it took place in the time of the sahabas
No evidence from quran or sunnah saying that a Muslim is permitted to solicit help from the jinn
Please bare in mind some scholars are of the opinion that you can marry jinn
For you to marry jinn,
she has to obey you
You will end up subduing jinn - not permitted
You will have to have intercourse
The purpose of marriage is intercourse
The jinn is made of fire
How can you have intercourse
with fire?
The jinn has to possess
someone to have intercourse
And among His Signs is
this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find
repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that
are indeed signs for a people who reflect.
(Ar-Rum 30:21)
Allah (SWT) created for you wives of your own kind.
You have to marry your
own kind.
You cannot marry anyone - they have to be a believer.
A Muslim man can marry a Christian, Jewish or Muslim because Christian and Jew are called people of the book.
Muslim women can only
marry a Muslim man.
O you who believe! When
believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them, Allah knows best as to
their Faith, then if you ascertain that they are true believers, send them not
back to the disbelievers, they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor
are the disbelievers lawful (husbands) for them. But give the disbelievers that
(amount of money) which they have spent [as their Mahr] to them. And there
will be no sin on you to marry them if you have paid their Mahr to them.
Likewise hold not the disbelieving women as wives, and ask for (the return of)
that which you have spent (as Mahr) and let them (the disbelievers, etc.) ask
back for that which they have spent. That is the Judgement of Allah. He judges
between you. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
(Al-Mumtahinah 60:10)
60:10 is the evidence Muslim
girls are not lawful for kaffir men
Marry your own kind
means you have to marry a human being
Allah (SWT) said don't take Christian girls as your girlfriend
desiring chastity (i.e.
taking them in legal wedlock) not committing illegal sexual intercourse, nor
taking them as girl-friends. And whosoever disbelieves in the Oneness of Allah and in
all the other Articles of Faith [i.e. His (Allah's), Angels, His Holy Books,
His Messengers, the Day of Resurrection and Al Qadar (Divine Preordainments)],
then fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
(Al-Ma'idah 5:5)
Umar check mate him with surah Al
Ma'idah verse: 51
O you who believe!
Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers,
etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them
as Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those
people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust).
(Al-Ma'idah 5:51)
