Narrated ‘Aisha:
The Prophet continued for such-and-such period imagining that he has slept (had sexual rela –

me regarding a matter about which I had asked Him. There came to me two men, one of them sat
near my feet and the other near my head. The one near my feet, asked the one near my head (point –

to that well and said, “This is the same well which was shown to me in the dream. The tops of its
date-palm trees look like the heads of the devils, and its water looks like the Henna infusion.” Then
the Prophet ordered that those things be taken out. I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Won’t you disclose (the
magic object)?” The Prophet said, “Allah has cured me and I hate to circulate the evil among the
people.” ‘Aisha added, “(The magician) Lubaid bin Asam was a man from Bani Zuraiq, an ally of the
Jews.”

say, ‘I think that he is so-and-so,” if he really thinks that he is such. Allah is the One Who will take
his accounts (as He knows his reality) and no-one can sanctify anybody before Allah.” (Khalid said,
“Woe to you,” instead of “Allah’s Mercy be on you.”)

His Mercy on Moses for he was hurt with more than this, yet he remained patient.”
