[Machine] Alqamah and Al-Aswad entered upon Abdullah and said, "Indeed, the mother of Al-Aswad has been ordered to sit, and surely she is being controlled by the stick of the spinning top (a form of divination). She offers prayers on it, so what do you see?" He (Abdullah) said, "Indeed, I see the Shaytan using the stick to make it prostrate on the ground, if he is capable of doing so. If not, he makes it gesture."
دَخَلَ عَلْقَمَةُ وَالْأَسْوَدُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَا إِنَّ أُمَّ الْأَسْوَدِ أُقْعِدَتْ وَإِنَّهُ يَرْكُزُ لَهَا عُودَ الْمِرْوَحَةِ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ فَمَا تَرَى؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَرَى الشَّيْطَانَ يَعْرِضُ بِالْعُودِ لِتَسْجُدْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعَتْ وَإِلَّا تُومِئْ إِيمَاءً»
