[2008] 46 – (868) It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbâs that Dimâd came to Makkah. He was from (the tribe of) Azd anü'ah, and he used to treat people with Ruqyâ' (in the case of Jinn possession). He heard the fools among the people of Makkah saying that Muhammad was possessed. He said: "If I see this man, perhaps Allah will heal him at my hands." So he met him and he said: "0 Muhammad, I treat people with Ruqyâ' in the case of Jinn possession, and Allah heals at my hands whomsoever He wills. Do you want that?" The Messenger of Allah said: "Praise be to Allah, We praise Him and seek His help. Whomsoever Allah guides, none can lead astray, and whomsoever He sends astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah alone with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger." Dimâd said: "Say these words of yours to me again." The Messenger of Allah repeated them three times and (Dimâd) said: "I have heard the words of the soothsayers and the words of the magicians and the words of the 3 Li :JU :3 poets, but I have never heard anything like these words of yours. You have scaled the heights of eloquence." He said: "Give me your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to in Islam." So he gave him his pledge of allegiance, then the Messenger of Allah said: "And on behalf of your people." He said: "And on behalf of my people." (The narration said:) The Messenger of Allah sent out a raiding party and they passed by his people. The commander of the party said to his troops: "Did you take anything from these people?" One man said: "I took a vessel for water from them." He said: "Give it back, for these are the people of imâd."
