"عَنِ ابْن عَبَّاس قَالَ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ منْ أَزْدِ شُنوءَةَ يُسَمَّى ضمَادًا وَكَانَ رَاقيًا فَقَدِمَ مَكَّةَ فَسَمِعَ أَهْلَهَا يُسَمُّونَ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ : مَجْنُونًا فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّى رَجُلٌ أَرْقي وَأُدَاوى فَإِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ دَاوَيْتُكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : الْحَمْدُ للهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعينُه وَنُؤمِنُ بِهِ وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْهِ وتعُوذُ بِاللهِ منْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا، مَنْ يَهدِهِ الله فَلا مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلا هَادِىَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أنَّ لا إِلَه إِلا الله وَأنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُه، قَالَ ضمَّادٌ أَعِدْ عَلَىَّ فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْه فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَقَدْ سَمعْتُ قَوْلَ الْكَهَنَة وَالسَّحَرَة وَالشُّعَرَاءِ وَالبلَغَاءِ فَمَا سَمعْتُ مِثْلَ هذَا الْكَلاَم قَطُّ، هَات يَدَكَ أُبَايعْكَ، فَبَايَعَه عَلَى الإِسْلام فَقَالَ: وَعَلَى قَوْمِي فَقَالَ وَعَلَى قَوْمِكَ، فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ ذَلَكَ سَرِيَّةً فَمَرُّوا عَلَى تلْكَ الْبِلادَ فَقَالَ أَميرُهُمْ: هَلْ أَصَبْتُمْ شَيْئًا؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، إِدَاوَةً قَالَ: رَدُّوهَا فَإنَّ هَؤُلاء قَوْمُ ضِمادٍ".

Collected by Muslim, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, BayhaqīDimad came to Mecca and he belonged to the tribe of Azd Shanu'a, and he used to protect the person who was under the influence of charm. He heard the foolish people of Mecca say that Muhammad ﷺ was under the spell. Upon this he said: If 1 were to come across this man, Allah might cure him at my hand. He met him and said: Muhammad, I can protect (one) who is under the influence of charm, and Allah cures one whom He so desires at my hand. Do you desire (this)? Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, ask His help; and he whom Allah guides aright there is none to lead him astray, and he who is led astray there is none to guide him, and I bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah, He is One, having no partner with Him, and that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger. Now after this he (Dimad) said: Repeat these words of yours before me, and the messenger of Allah ﷺ repeated these to him thrice; and he said I have heard the words of soothsayers and the words of magicians, and the words of poets, but I have never heard such words as yours, and they reach the depth (of the ocean of eloquence) ; bring forth your hand so that I should take oath of fealty to you on Islam. So he took an oath of allegiance to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: It (this allegiance of yours) is on behalf of your people too. He said: It is on behalf of my people too. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an expedition and the flying column passed by his people. The leader of the flying column said to the detachment: Did you find anything from these people? One of the people said: I found a utensil for water. Upon this he (the commander) said: Return it, for he is one of the people of Dimad.
أَنَّ ضِمَادًا قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَزْدِ شَنُوءَةَ وَكَانَ يَرْقِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ فَسَمِعَ سُفَهَاءَ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا مَجْنُونٌ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَشْفِيهِ عَلَى يَدَىَّ قَالَ فَلَقِيَهُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي أَرْقِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَشْفِي عَلَى يَدِي مَنْ شَاءَ فَهَلْ لَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلاَ مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلاَ هَادِيَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَعِدْ عَلَىَّ كَلِمَاتِكَ هَؤُلاَءِ فَأَعَادَهُنَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ قَوْلَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَقَوْلَ السَّحَرَةِ وَقَوْلَ الشُّعَرَاءِ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِثْلَ كَلِمَاتِكَ هَؤُلاَءِ وَلَقَدْ بَلَغْنَ نَاعُوسَ الْبَحْرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ هَاتِ يَدَكَ أُبَايِعْكَ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ قَالَ فَبَايَعَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَى قَوْمِكَ قَالَ وَعَلَى قَوْمِي قَالَ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَرِيَّةً فَمَرُّوا بِقَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ السَّرِيَّةِ لِلْجَيْشِ هَلْ أَصَبْتُمْ مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَصَبْتُ مِنْهُمْ مِطْهَرَةً فَقَالَ رُدُّوهَا فَإِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ قَوْمُ ضِمَادٍ
[Machine] The Azdi brought a bandage to Mecca and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and some young men following him. He said, "O Muhammad, I am suffering from madness." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Praise be to Allah, we seek His help, we seek His forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves. Whomever Allah guides, no one can misguide him, and whomever Allah misguides, no one can guide him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger." The Azdi then said, "Respond to me with these words." He said, "I have heard poetry, eloquence, and divination, but I have never heard words like these. They have reached the depths of the ocean. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger." He then embraced Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Did you embrace Islam for yourself and your people?" He replied, "Yes, for myself and my people." Later, a group from the Prophet's companions passed by his people, and some of them were affected by ailments. They said, "These are from the people of the Azdi, return them." So they were returned.

[Machine] He is known as Dhimam, who was in Yemen and treated people with mental illnesses. He came to Mecca and heard them saying about Muhammad ﷺ that he was a sorcerer, soothsayer, and madman. He said, "If I meet this man, perhaps Allah will heal him through me." He met him and said, "O Muhammad, indeed Allah heals through me, and I treat people with these mental illnesses." He said, "Praise be to Allah, we praise Him and seek His help. Whomever Allah guides, none can lead astray, and whomever Allah leads astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger." He said, "Put your hand out," so he put his hand out and he pledged allegiance to him upon Islam. Then he pledged allegiance to his people upon Islam.

[Machine] Dhimam ibn Tha'labah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Shall I recite Ruqyah for you, O Muhammad?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Praise be to Allah, we praise Him and seek His help and seek refuge in Allah from the evils of ourselves and the wickedness of our actions. Whoever Allah guides, there is no one who can lead him astray, and whoever Allah leads astray, there is no guide for him. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger." Then Dhimam said, "I have read the Books, the Torah, the Gospel, and the Psalms, but I have never heard anything like this speech. Repeat it for me." So, the Prophet ﷺ repeated it for him, and he asked him to repeat it again and he repeated it for him. Then it was mentioned that he embraced Islam.
جَاءَ ضِمَامُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلَا أَرْقِيكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَسَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا مَنْ يَهْدِ اللهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» فَقَالَ ضِمَامٌ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ الْكُتُبَ وَالتَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ وَالزَّبُورَ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْكَلَامِ أَعِدْهُنَّ عَلَيَّ فَأَعَادَهُنَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَعِدْهُنَّ عَلَيَّ فَأَعَادَهُنَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ ذُكِرَ أَنَّهُ أَسْلَمَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach us the speech of necessity, saying, "Indeed, all praise is due to Allah. We praise Him, seek His help, and seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves. Whoever Allah guides, there is no misguidance for him, and whoever He misguides, there is no guidance for him. And I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, alone, without any partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger." Abu Ubaydah said, "I heard Abu Musa saying, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say, "If you want, your sermon can include any of these verses from the Quran: 'Fear Allah as He deserves to be feared and do not die except as Muslims.' (Surah Al-Imran, 3:102) 'Fear Allah, in whom you ask each other for your rights, and fear the wombs (lest you sever its ties). Verily, Allah is ever watching over you.' (Surah An-Nisa', 4:1) 'Fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice.' (Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:70) until 'great success.' (Surah An-Nisa’, 4:73).' Then he would speak about his need. Israel combined both of these (verses)."
