shepherd and drove away the camels. When the news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he sent some people in their
pursuit. When they were brought, he cut their hands and feet and their eyes were branded with heated

cumin. Take five or seven seeds and crush them (mix the powder with oil) and drop the resulting
mixture into both nostrils, for `Aisha has narrated to me that she heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'This black
cumin is healing for all diseases except As-Sam.' Aisha said, 'What is As-Sam?' He said, 'Death."

passed urine on him whereupon he asked for some water and sprinkled it over the place of urine.

is we who have believed in Allah and followed His Apostle; therefore those people are either
ourselves or our children who are born m the Islamic era, for we were born in the Pre-lslamic Period

not treat themselves with Ruqya, nor do they believe in bad or good omen (from birds etc.) nor do
they get themselves branded (Cauterized). but they put their trust (only) in their Lord " On that

Note: The majority of scholars interpret this to mean that these things in and of themselves do not transmit or cause harm through supernatural or hidden means but that Allah is ultimately in control and any fearful superstition around these is false.

Chapter
باب
I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with a a son of mine whose palate and tonsils I had pressed with my
finger as a treatment for a (throat and tonsil) disease. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why do you pain your
children by pressing their throats! Use Ud Al-Hindi (certain Indian incense) for it cures seven
diseases, one of which is pleurisy. It is used as a snuff for treating throat and tonsil disease and it is
inserted into one side of the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy."

(the wife of the Prophet)
When the health of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) deteriorated and his condition became serious, he asked the
permission of all his wives to allow him to be treated In my house, and they allowed him. He came
out, supported by two men and his legs were dragging on the ground between `Abbas and another
man. (The sub-narrator told Ibn `Abbas who said: Do you know who was the other man whom `Aisha
did not mention? The sub-narrator said: No. Ibn `Abbas said: It was `Ali.) `Aisha added: When the
Prophet entered my house and his disease became aggravated, he said, "Pour on me seven water skins
full of water (the tying ribbons of which had not been untied) so that I may give some advice to the
people." So we made him sit in a tub belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) and started pouring
water on him from those water skins till he waved us to stop. Then he went out to the people and led
them in prayer and delivered a speech before them.

water, she took a mat (of palm leaves), burnt it, and stuck it (the burnt ashes) on the wound of Allah's
Apostle, whereupon the bleeding stopped.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ نَاسًا أَوْ رِجَالاً مِنْ عُكْلٍ وَعُرَيْنَةَ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتَكَلَّمُوا بِالإِسْلاَمِ وَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا أَهْلَ ضَرْعٍ، وَلَمْ نَكُنْ أَهْلَ رِيفٍ، وَاسْتَوْخَمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَمَرَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِذَوْدٍ وَبِرَاعٍ وَأَمَرَهُمْ، أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا فِيهِ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا، فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى كَانُوا نَاحِيَةَ الْحَرَّةِ، كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِسْلاَمِهِمْ، وَقَتَلُوا رَاعِيَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاسْتَاقُوا الذَّوْدَ فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَعَثَ الطَّلَبَ فِي آثَارِهِمْ، وَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ فَسَمَرُوا أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَقَطَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَتُرِكُوا فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْحَرَّةِ حَتَّى مَاتُوا عَلَى حَالِهِمْ.
Some people from the tribes of `Ukl and `Uraina came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and embraced Islam and
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are owners of livestock and have never been farmers," and they found
the climate of Medina unsuitable for them. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered that they be given some camels
and a shepherd, and ordered them to go out with those camels and drink their milk and urine. So they
set out, but when they reached a place called Al-Harra, they reverted to disbelief after their conversion
to Islam, killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. When this news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he sent
in their pursuit (and they were caught and brought). The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that their eyes be branded
with heated iron bars and their hands be cut off, and they were left at Al-Harra till they died in that
state.

Narrated by Saud
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ، يُحَدِّثُ سَعْدًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِالطَّاعُونِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَدْخُلُوهَا، وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا " . فَقُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ يُحَدِّثُ سَعْدًا وَلاَ يُنْكِرُهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ خَرَجَ إِلَى الشَّأْمِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِسَرْغَ لَقِيَهُ أُمَرَاءُ الأَجْنَادِ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّ الْوَبَاءَ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِأَرْضِ الشَّأْمِ. قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ادْعُ لِي الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الأَوَّلِينَ. فَدَعَاهُمْ فَاسْتَشَارَهُمْ وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّ الْوَبَاءَ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِالشَّأْمِ فَاخْتَلَفُوا. فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ قَدْ خَرَجْتَ لأَمْرٍ، وَلاَ نَرَى أَنْ تَرْجِعَ عَنْهُ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ مَعَكَ بَقِيَّةُ النَّاسِ وَأَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلاَ نَرَى أَنْ تُقْدِمَهُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْوَبَاءِ. فَقَالَ ارْتَفِعُوا عَنِّي. ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْعُوا لِي الأَنْصَارَ. فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ فَاسْتَشَارَهُمْ، فَسَلَكُوا سَبِيلَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، وَاخْتَلَفُوا كَاخْتِلاَفِهِمْ، فَقَالَ ارْتَفِعُوا عَنِّي. ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْعُ لِي مَنْ كَانَ هَا هُنَا مِنْ مَشْيَخَةِ قُرَيْشٍ مِنْ مُهَاجِرَةِ الْفَتْحِ. فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَخْتَلِفْ مِنْهُمْ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلاَنِ، فَقَالُوا نَرَى أَنْ تَرْجِعَ بِالنَّاسِ، وَلاَ تُقْدِمَهُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْوَبَاءِ، فَنَادَى عُمَرُ فِي النَّاسِ، إِنِّي مُصَبِّحٌ عَلَى ظَهْرٍ، فَأَصْبِحُوا عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ أَفِرَارًا مِنْ قَدَرِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لَوْ غَيْرُكَ قَالَهَا يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ، نَعَمْ نَفِرُّ مِنْ قَدَرِ اللَّهِ إِلَى قَدَرِ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ لَكَ إِبِلٌ هَبَطَتْ وَادِيًا لَهُ عُدْوَتَانِ، إِحْدَاهُمَا خَصِبَةٌ، وَالأُخْرَى جَدْبَةٌ، أَلَيْسَ إِنْ رَعَيْتَ الْخَصْبَةَ رَعَيْتَهَا بِقَدَرِ اللَّهِ، وَإِنْ رَعَيْتَ الْجَدْبَةَ رَعَيْتَهَا بِقَدَرِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، وَكَانَ مُتَغَيِّبًا فِي بَعْضِ حَاجَتِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي فِي هَذَا عِلْمًا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ ". قَالَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ.
`Umar bin Al-Khattab departed for Sham and when he reached Sargh, the commanders of the
(Muslim) army, Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah and his companions met him and told him that an epidemic
had broken out in Sham. `Umar said, "Call for me the early emigrants." So `Umar called them,
consulted them and informed them that an epidemic had broken out in Sham.
Those people differed in their opinions. Some of them said, "We have come out for a purpose and we
do not think that it is proper to give it up," while others said (to `Umar), "You have along with you.
other people and the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) so do not advise that we take them to this
epidemic." `Umar said to them, "Leave me now." Then he said, "Call the Ansar for me." I called them
and he consulted them and they followed the way of the emigrants and differed as they did. He then
said to them, Leave me now," and added, "Call for me the old people of Quraish who emigrated in the
year of the Conquest of Mecca."
I called them and they gave a unanimous opinion saying, "We advise that you should return with the
people and do not take them to that (place) of epidemic." So `Umar made an announcement, "I will
ride back to Medina in the morning, so you should do the same." Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah said (to
`Umar), "Are you running away from what Allah had ordained?" `Umar said, "Would that someone
else had said such a thing, O Abu 'Ubaida! Yes, we are running from what Allah had ordained to what
Allah has ordained. Don't you agree that if you had camels that went down a valley having two places,
one green and the other dry, you would graze them on the green one only if Allah had ordained that,
and you would graze them on the dry one only if Allah had ordained that?"
At that time `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf, who had been absent because of some job, came and said, "I
have some knowledge about this. I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, 'If you hear about it (an
outbreak of plague) in a land, do not go to it; but if plague breaks out in a country where you are
staying, do not run away from it.' " `Umar thanked Allah and returned to Medina.

her saying, "Plague was a punishment which Allah used to send on whom He wished, but Allah made
it a blessing for the believers. None (among the believers) remains patient in a land in which plague
has broken out and considers that nothing will befall him except what Allah has ordained for him, but
that Allah will grant him a reward similar to that of a martyr."

During the Prophet's fatal illness, he used to recite the Mu'auwidhat (Surat An-Nas and Surat Al-
Falaq) and then blow his breath over his body. When his illness was aggravated, I used to recite those
two Suras and blow my breath over him and make him rub his body with his own hand for its
blessings." (Ma`mar asked Az-Zuhri: How did the Prophet (ﷺ) use to blow? Az-Zuhri said: He used to
blow on his hands and then passed them over his face.)

Some of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) came across a tribe amongst the tribes of the Arabs, and that
tribe did not entertain them. While they were in that state, the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake
(or stung by a scorpion). They said, (to the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "Have you got any medicine
with you or anybody who can treat with Ruqya?" The Prophet's companions said, "You refuse to
entertain us, so we will not treat (your chief) unless you pay us for it." So they agreed to pay them a
flock of sheep. One of them (the Prophet's companions) started reciting Surat-al-Fatiha and gathering
his saliva and spitting it (at the snake-bite). The patient got cured and his people presented the sheep
to them, but they said, "We will not take it unless we ask the Prophet (whether it is lawful)." When
they asked him, he smiled and said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is a Ruqya? Take it (flock
of sheep) and assign a share for me."

حَدَّثَنِي سِيدَانُ بْنُ مُضَارِبٍ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ ـ هُوَ صَدُوقٌ ـ يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْبَرَّاءُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الأَخْنَسِ أَبُو مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ نَفَرًا، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَرُّوا بِمَاءٍ فِيهِمْ لَدِيغٌ ـ أَوْ سَلِيمٌ ـ فَعَرَضَ لَهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَاءِ فَقَالَ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مِنْ رَاقٍ إِنَّ فِي الْمَاءِ رَجُلاً لَدِيغًا أَوْ سَلِيمًا. فَانْطَلَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ عَلَى شَاءٍ، فَبَرَأَ، فَجَاءَ بِالشَّاءِ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَكَرِهُوا ذَلِكَ وَقَالُوا أَخَذْتَ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَجْرًا. حَتَّى قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخَذَ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَجْرًا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ أَحَقَّ مَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ ".
Some of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) 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 got 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 Medina, they said, ' O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (This person) has
taken wages for reciting Allah's Book" On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You are most entitled to take
wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's Book."

A group of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) proceeded on a journey till they dismounted near one of
the Arab tribes and requested them to entertain them as their guests, but they (the tribe people) refused
to entertain them. Then the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and he
was given all sorts of treatment, but all in vain. Some of them said, "Will you go to the group (those
travelers) who have dismounted near you and see if one of them has something useful?" They came to
them and said, "O the group! Our leader has been bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and we
have treated him with everything but nothing benefited him Has anyone of you anything useful?" One
of them replied, "Yes, by Allah, I know how to treat with a Ruqya. But. by Allah, we wanted you to
receive us as your guests but you refused. I will not treat your patient with a Ruqya till you fix for us
something as wages." Consequently they agreed to give those travellers a flock of sheep. The man
went with them (the people of the tribe) and started spitting (on the bite) and reciting Surat-al-Fatiha
till the patient was healed and started walking as if he had not been sick. When the tribe people paid
them their wages they had agreed upon, some of them (the Prophet's companions) said, "Distribute
(the sheep)." But the one who treated with the Ruqya said, "Do not do that till we go to Allah's
Apostle and mention to him what has happened, and see what he will order us." So they came to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and mentioned the story to him and he said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is
a Ruqya? You have done the right thing. Divide (what you have got) and assign for me a share with
you."

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعَوِّذُ بَعْضَهُمْ يَمْسَحُهُ بِيَمِينِهِ " أَذْهِبِ الْبَاسَ رَبَّ النَّاسِ، وَاشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي، لاَ شِفَاءَ إِلاَّ شِفَاؤُكَ، شِفَاءً لاَ يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا " . فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِمَنْصُورٍ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنَحْوِهِ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to treat some of his wives by passing his right hand over the place of ailment and
used to say, "O Lord of the people! Remove the difficulty and bring about healing as You are the
Healer. There is no healing but Your Healing, a healing that will leave no ailment."

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجُعْفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَنْفِثُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ بِالْمُعَوِّذَاتِ، فَلَمَّا ثَقُلَ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَنْفِثُ عَلَيْهِ بِهِنَّ، فَأَمْسَحُ بِيَدِ نَفْسِهِ لِبَرَكَتِهَا. فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ كَيْفَ كَانَ يَنْفِثُ قَالَ يَنْفِثُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ.
The Prophet, during his fatal ailment used to blow (on his hands and pass them) over his body while
reciting the Mu'auwidhat (Surat-an-Nas and Surat-al-Falaq). When his disease got aggravated, I used
to recite them for him and blow (on his hands) and let him pass his hands over his body because of its
blessing. (Ma`mar asked Ibn Shihab: How did he use to do Nafth? He said: He used to blow on his
hands and then pass them over his face.)

The Prophet (ﷺ) once came out to us and said, "Some nations were displayed before me. A prophet would
pass in front of me with one man, and another with two men, and another with a group of people. and
another with nobody with him. Then I saw a great crowd covering the horizon and I wished that they
were my followers, but it was said to me, 'This is Moses and his followers.' Then it was said to me,
'Look'' I looked and saw a big gathering with a large number of people covering the horizon. It was
said, "Look this way and that way.' So I saw a big crowd covering the horizon. Then it was said to me,
"These are your followers, and among them there are 70,000 who will enter Paradise without (being
asked about their) accounts. " Then the people dispersed and the Prophet (ﷺ) did not tell who those 70,000
were. So the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) started talking about that and some of them said, "As regards
us, we were born in the era of heathenism, but then we believed in Allah and His Apostle . We think
however, that these (70,000) are our offspring." That talk reached the Prophet (ﷺ) who said, "These
(70,000) are the people who do not draw an evil omen from (birds) and do not get treated by branding
themselves and do not treat with Ruqya, but put their trust (only) in their Lord." then 'Ukasha bin
Muhsin got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Am I one of those (70,000)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes."
Then another person got up and said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, " 'Ukasha has anticipated
you."

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ سَحَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الأَعْصَمِ، حَتَّى كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ الشَّىْءَ وَمَا فَعَلَهُ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَوْ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَهْوَ عِنْدِي لَكِنَّهُ دَعَا وَدَعَا ثُمَّ قَالَ " يَا عَائِشَةُ، أَشَعَرْتِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَفْتَانِي فِيمَا اسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فِيهِ، أَتَانِي رَجُلاَنِ فَقَعَدَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِي، وَالآخَرُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَىَّ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ مَا وَجَعُ الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ مَطْبُوبٌ. قَالَ مَنْ طَبَّهُ قَالَ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الأَعْصَمِ. قَالَ فِي أَىِّ شَىْءٍ قَالَ فِي مُشْطٍ وَمُشَاطَةٍ، وَجُفِّ طَلْعِ نَخْلَةٍ ذَكَرٍ. قَالَ وَأَيْنَ هُوَ قَالَ فِي بِئْرِ ذَرْوَانَ ". فَأَتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي نَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ " يَا عَائِشَةُ كَأَنَّ مَاءَهَا نُقَاعَةُ الْحِنَّاءِ، أَوْ كَأَنَّ رُءُوسَ نَخْلِهَا رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ ". قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ أَسْتَخْرِجُهُ قَالَ " قَدْ عَافَانِي اللَّهُ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُثَوِّرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فِيهِ شَرًّا ". فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَدُفِنَتْ. تَابَعَهُ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَأَبُو ضَمْرَةَ وَابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ هِشَامٍ. وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ فِي مُشْطٍ وَمُشَاقَةٍ. يُقَالُ الْمُشَاطَةُ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الشَّعَرِ إِذَا مُشِطَ، وَالْمُشَاقَةُ مِنْ مُشَاقَةِ الْكَتَّانِ.
A man called Labid bin al-A'sam from the tribe of Bani Zaraiq worked magic on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) till
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) started imagining that he had done a thing that he had not really done. One day or one
night he was with us, he invoked Allah and invoked for a long period, and then said, "O `Aisha! Do
you know that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I have asked him about? Two men came
to me and one of them sat near my head and the other near my feet. One of them said to his
companion, "What is the disease of this man?" The other replied, "He is under the effect of magic.'
The first one asked, 'Who has worked the magic on him?' The other replied, "Labid bin Al-A'sam.'
The first one asked, 'What material did he use?' The other replied, 'A comb and the hairs stuck to it
and the skin of pollen of a male date palm.' The first one asked, 'Where is that?' The other replied,
'(That is) in the well of Dharwan;' " So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with some of his companions went there
and came back saying, "O `Aisha, the color of its water is like the infusion of Henna leaves. The tops
of the date-palm trees near it are like the heads of the devils." I asked. "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)? Why did
you not show it (to the people)?" He said, "Since Allah cured me, I disliked to let evil spread among
the people." Then he ordered that the well be filled up with earth.

Magic was worked on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) so that he used to think that he had sexual relations with his
wives while he actually had not (Sufyan said: That is the hardest kind of magic as it has such an
effect). Then one day he said, "O `Aisha do you know that Allah has instructed me concerning the
matter I asked Him about? Two men came to me and one of them sat near my head and the other sat
near my feet. The one near my head asked the other. What is wrong with this man?' The latter replied
the is under the effect of magic The first one asked, Who has worked magic on him?' The other
replied Labid bin Al-A'sam, a man from Bani Zuraiq who was an ally of the Jews and was a
hypocrite.' The first one asked, What material did he use)?' The other replied, 'A comb and the hair
stuck to it.' The first one asked, 'Where (is that)?' The other replied. 'In a skin of pollen of a male date
palm tree kept under a stone in the well of Dharwan' '' So the Prophet (ﷺ) went to that well and took out
those things and said "That was the well which was shown to me (in a dream) Its water looked like the
infusion of Henna leaves and its date-palm trees looked like the heads of devils." The Prophet (ﷺ) added,
"Then that thing was taken out' I said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ) "Why do you not treat yourself with Nashra?"
He said, "Allah has cured me; I dislike to let evil spread among my people."

looked at that and there were date palms near to it. Then he returned to me and said, 'By Allah the

devils" I said, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Did you take those materials out of the pollen skin?" He said, 'No!

would spread evil among them when he ordered that the well be filled up with earth, and it was filled

Apostle said, "Collect for me all the Jews present in this area." (When they were gathered) Allah's
Apostle said to them, "I am going to ask you about something; will you tell me the truth?" They
replied, "Yes, O Abal-Qasim!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them, "Who is your father?" They said, "Our
father is so-and-so." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You have told a lie. for your father is so-and-so," They
said, "No doubt, you have said the truth and done the correct thing." He again said to them, "If I ask
you about something; will you tell me the truth?" They replied, "Yes, O Abal-Qasim! And if we
should tell a lie you will know it as you have known it regarding our father," Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then
asked, "Who are the people of the (Hell) Fire?" They replied, "We will remain in the (Hell) Fire for a
while and then you (Muslims) will replace us in it" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them. ''You will abide in it
with ignominy. By Allah, we shall never replace you in it at all." Then he asked them again, "If I ask
you something, will you tell me the truth?" They replied, "Yes." He asked. "Have you put the poison
in this roasted sheep?" They replied, "Yes," He asked, "What made you do that?" They replied, "We
intended to learn if you were a liar in which case we would be relieved from you, and if you were a
prophet then it would not harm you."

The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the eating of wild animals having fangs. (Az-Zuhri said: I did not hear this
narration except when I went to Sham.) Al-Laith said: Narrated Yunus: I asked Ibn Shihab, "May we
perform the ablution with the milk of she-asses or drink it, or drink the bile of wild animals or urine of
camels?" He replied, "The Muslims used to treat themselves with that and did not see any harm in it.
As for the milk of she-asses, we have learnt that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the eating of their meat, but
we have not received any information whether drinking of their milk is allowed or forbidden." As for
the bile of wild animals, Ibn Shihab said, "Abu Idris Al-Khaulani told me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade
the eating of the flesh of every wild beast having fangs . "
