Sahih al-Bukhari 5763

Hadith text

Narrated `Aisha:A man called Labid bin al-A'sam from the tribe of Bani Zaraiq worked magic on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) till Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) started imagining that he had done a thing that he had not really done. One day or one night he was with us, he invoked Allah and invoked for a long period, and then said, "O `Aisha! Do you know that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I have asked him about? Two men came to me and one of them sat near my head and the other near my feet. One of them said to 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 the magic on him?' The other replied, "Labid bin Al-A'sam.' The first one asked, 'What material did he use?' The other replied, 'A comb and the hairs stuck to it and the skin of pollen of a male date palm.' The first one asked, 'Where is that?' The other replied, '(That is) in the well of Dharwan;' " So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with some of his companions went there and came back saying, "O `Aisha, the color of its water is like the infusion of Henna leaves. The tops of the date-palm trees near it are like the heads of the devils." I asked. "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)? Why did you not show it (to the people)?" He said, "Since Allah cured me, I disliked to let evil spread among the people." Then he ordered that the well be filled up with earth

Aisha bataati hain: Banu Zuraiq qabeele ke Labid bin Al-A'sam naami ek shaks ne Allah ke Rasool (SAW) par jaadu kar diya, yahaan tak ke Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ko lagne laga ke unhone koi kaam kiya hai jo unhone waaqai nahi kiya tha. Ek din ya ek raat wo humaare saath the, unhone Allah se lambi dua ki, phir kaha, 'Aye Aisha! Kya tumhein pata hai Allah ne mujhe us maamle ke baare mein bataya hai jo maine unse pucha tha? Do aadmi mere paas aaye, ek mere sar ke paas baitha aur doosra mere pairon ke paas. Unmein se ek ne apne saathi se pucha, "Is aadmi ki bimaari kya hai?" Doosre ne jawab diya, "Ye jaadu ke asar mein hai." Pehle ne pucha, "Isper jaadu kisne kiya?" Doosre ne jawab diya, "Labid bin Al-A'sam ne." Pehle ne pucha, "Kis cheez se?" Doosre ne jawab diya, "Ek kangha aur usmein phanse baal, aur khajoor ke nar darakht ke phool ki chhaal se." Pehle ne pucha, "Wo kahaan hai?" Doosre ne jawab diya, "Dharwan ke kuen mein."' To Allah ke Rasool (SAW) apne kuch sahaaba ke saath wahaan gaye aur wapas aakar kaha, 'Aye Aisha, uske paani ka rang Heena ke patton ke ghol jaisa tha. Uske paas khajoor ke darakhton ke sar Shaitaanon ke saron jaise the.' Maine pucha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Aapne ise (logon ko) kyun nahi dikhaya?' Unhone kaha, 'Jab se Allah ne mujhe shifa di, mujhe logon mein buraai failaana pasand nahi aaya.' Phir unhone hukm diya ke us kuen ko mitti se bhar diya jaaye.
