Is the incident true in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded one of the Companions to recite Surat Al-Baqarah 22 times to nullify magic, where on the last night the Companion saw a black bird exit his body, and the Prophet informed him that it was the magic?
Reciting the Qur'an as Ruqyah, especially Surat Al-Baqarah, is beneficial by the will of Allah in expelling Satan and preventing the effects of magic, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite Surat Al-Baqarah, for taking it is a blessing, and leaving it is a cause of regret, and the sorcerers cannot confront it." He also said: "Indeed, Satan flees from the house in which Surat Al-Baqarah is recited." As for the story mentioned, there is nothing in the books of Sunnah that authenticates it.
