Does the use of Zamzam water upon which a reciter of Ruqyah has recited conflict with the Hadith "they do not seek Ruqyah" concerning the seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning or torment? And does the Hadith include water, or is it limited to Ruqyah upon individuals?
Summary: Seventy thousand people from the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ Ummah will enter Paradise without reckoning. These are those who do not seek ruqya for themselves, nor do they believe in bad omens, and they place their trust in their Lord. This indicates the perfection of their reliance on Allah Almighty and their self-respect, keeping them from humbling themselves before anyone other than Allah.
Water over which ruqya has been recited is considered a type of ruqya. Whoever drinks this water falls into one of two categories: 1. He who requested that ruqya be recited over the water: This person falls under "they do not seek ruqya" because he requested ruqya. 2. He who received water over which ruqya was recited without him requesting it, and his heart is solely attached to Allah: This person does not fall under "they do not seek ruqya" because he did not request it.
The disliked form of seeking ruqya is asking people for ruqya. However, if someone comes to perform ruqya for you without you asking, there is no dislike in it. This is similar to the difference between asking for money and accepting a gift without asking.
