Volume 8, Book 75, Number 400:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
that Allah’s Apostle was affected by magic, so much that he used to think that he had done some –
thing which in fact, he did not do, and he invoked his Lord (for a remedy). Then (one day) he said, “O
‘Aisha!) Do you know that Allah has advised me as to the problem I consulted Him about?” ‘Aisha
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! What’s that?” He said, “Two men came to me and one of them sat at my head
and the other at my feet, and one of them asked his companion, ‘What is wrong with this man?’ The
latter replied, ‘He is under the effect of magic.’ The former asked, ‘Who has worked magic on him?’
The latter replied, ‘Labid bin Al-A’sam.’ The former asked, ‘With what did he work the magic?’ The
latter replied, ‘With a comb and the hair, which are stuck to the comb, and the skin of pollen of a
date-palm tree.’ The former asked, ‘Where is that?’ The latter replied, ‘It is in Dharwan.’ Dharwan
was a well in the dwelling place of the (tribe of) Bani Zuraiq. Allah’s Apostle went to that well and
returned to ‘Aisha, saying, ‘By Allah, the water (of the well) was as red as the infusion of Hinna, (1)
and the date-palm trees look like the heads of devils.’ ‘Aisha added, Allah’s Apostle came to me and
informed me about the well. I asked the Prophet, ‘O Allah’s Apostle, why didn’t you take out the skin
of pollen?’ He said, ‘As for me, Allah has cured me and I hated to draw the attention of the people to
such evil (which they might learn and harm others with).’ ”
Narrated Hisham’s father: ‘Aisha said, “Allah’s Apostle was bewitched, so he invoked Allah re –
peatedly requesting Him to cure him from that magic).” Hisham then narrated the above narration.

Curse be upon you).” The Prophet said, “Be gentle and calm, O ‘Aisha, as Allah likes gentleness in all
