Volume 7, Book 71, Number 661:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Magic was worked on Allah’s Apostle so that he began to imagine that he had done something al –
though he had not. One day while he was with me, he invoked Allah and invoked for a long period
and then said, “O ‘Aisha! Do you know that Allah has instructed me regarding the matter I asked Him
about?” I asked, “What is that, O Allah’s Apostle?” He said, “Two men came to me; one of them sat
near my head and the other sat near my feet. One of them asked his companion, ‘What is the disease
of this man?’ The other replied, ‘He is under the effect of magic.’ The first one asked, ‘Who has
worked magic on him?” The other replied, ‘Labid bin A’sam, a Jew from the tribe of Bani Zuraiq.’ The
(first one asked), ‘With what has it been done?’ The other replied, ‘With a a comb and the hair stuck
to it and a skin of the pollen of a male datepalm tree.’ The first one asked, ‘Where is it?’ The other
replied, ‘In the well of Dharwan.’ Then the Prophet went along with some of his companions to that
well and looked at that and there were date palms near to it. Then he returned to me and said, ‘By
Allah the water of that well was (red) like the infusion of Henna leaves and its date-palms were like
the heads of devils” I said, O Allah’s Apostle! Did you take those materials out of the pollen skin?” He
said, ‘No! As for me Allah has healed me and cured me and I was afraid that (by Showing that to the
people) I would spread evil among them when he ordered that the well be filled up with earth, and it
was filled up with earth “
