A man came to the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) , embraced Islam then returned to his people. On his way there were a group of men who had with them a madman in iron manacles. The group said, that they heard that the travelers friend (i.e.Prophet Muhammad(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) ) had something good with him and so he exo

rcised the madman with Surah al Fatiha, and he was cured. As reward they gave the traveler sheep. He then returned to the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) and narrated the story. The Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) asked if he did anything other than recite al-Fatiha, he said no. So the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said that while these people make their livelihoods out of false incantations (i.e. worshiping false idols) the traveler earned the 100 sheep through something lawful; so he could keep the sheep.[Abu Dawood 3398/a]
