The answer

It has not been reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recited specific verses to interrogate jinn, bring them forth, or burn them. However, it has been reported that he used to command the jinn to exit the sick person, as narrated in the of Uthman ibn Abi al-Aas, may Allah be pleased with him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, also commanded the remembrance (adhkar) that protect a Muslim from Satan, such as reciting Ayat al-Kursi before sleep, as narrated in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him. This was his guidance, peace and blessings be upon him, in dealing with someone possessed by a jinn. As for deliberately summoning jinn and conversing with them, it is not part of his . Nevertheless, there is no objection to certain verses benefiting the patient through experience, if Allah wills it. If this is proven, then there is no impediment to adopting them as a means of treatment.
