٥٢۔ كِتَابُ الْقَسَامَةِ
Magic was worked on Messenger of Allah ﷺ so that he began to imagine that he had done something although he had not. One day while he was with me, he invoked Allah and invoked for a long period and then said, "O ʿAisha! Do you know that Allah has instructed me regarding the matter I asked Him about?" I asked, "What is that, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said, "Two men came to me; one of them sat near my head and the other sat near my feet. One of them asked 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 magic on him?" The other replied, 'Labid bin A'sam, a Jew from the tribe of Bani Zuraiq.' The (first one asked), 'With what has it been done?' The other replied, 'With a a comb and the hair stuck to it and a skin of the pollen of a male datepalm tree.' The first one asked, 'Where is it?' The other replied, 'In the well of Dharwan.' Then the Prophet ﷺ went along with some of his companions to that well and looked at that and there were date palms near to it. Then he returned to me and said, 'By Allah the water of that well was (red) like the infusion of Henna leaves and its date-palms were like the heads of devils" I said, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Did you take those materials out of the pollen skin?" He said, 'No! As for me Allah has healed me and cured me and I was afraid that (by Showing that to the people) I would spread evil among them when he ordered that the well be filled up with earth, and it was filled up with earth " (Using translation from Bukhārī 5766)
حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ صَنَعَ الشَّيْءَ وَمَا صَنَعَهُ وَإِنَّهُ دَعَا رَبَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَشَعَرْتِ أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَفْتَانِي فِيمَا اسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فِيهِ؟ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ وَمَا ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ جَاءَنِي رَجُلَانِ فَجَلَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِي وَالْآخَرُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ مَا وَجَعُ الرَّجُلِ؟ قَالَ الْآخَرُ مَطْبُوبٌ قَالَ مَنْ طَبَّهُ؟ قَالَ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الْأَعْصَمِ قَالَ فِيمَا ذَا؟ قَالَ فِي مُشْطٍ وَمُشَاطَةٍ وَجُفِّ طَلْعَةِ ذَكَرٍ قَالَ فَأَيْنَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ هُوَ فِي ذَرْوَانَ وَذَرْوَانُ بِئْرٌ فِي بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ فَأَتَاهُا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ ؓ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَكَأَنَّ مَاءَهُمَا نُقَاعَةُ الْحِنَّاءِ وَلَكَأَنَّ نَخْلَهَا رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَّا أَخْرَجْتَهُ؟ قَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ شَفَانِي اللهُ وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُثِيرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنْهُ شَرًّا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever starts his day with seven dates from the Medina Ajwa variety, he will not be harmed by any poison or sorcery that day." This hadith is narrated by Abu Badr and in another narration by Saad bin Abi Waqqas. Hashim said, "I do not know that Aamir mentioned anything except of the Ajwa Al-A'liyah variety."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ تَصَبَّحَ بِتَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ عَجْوَةٍ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ سُمٌّ وَلَا سِحْرٌ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي بَدْرٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مَكِّيٍّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنِ اصْطَبَحَ سَبْعَ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ عَجْوَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ سُمٌّ وَلَا سِحْرٌ قَالَ هَاشِمٌ لَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ عَامِرًا ذَكَرَ إِلَّا مِنْ عَجْوَةِ الْعَالِيَةِ
