Hadith 6063

The Statement of Allāh"Verily! Allāh enjoins Al-'Adl (i.e., justice and worshipping none but Allāh Alone — Islāmic Monotheism) and Al-Ihsān [i.e., to be patient in performing your duties to Allāh, totally for Allāh's sake and in accordance with the As-Sunna (legal ways) of the Prophet ﷺ in a perfect manner], and giving (help) to kith and kin (i.e., all what Allāh has ordered you to give them e.g., wealth, visiting, looking after them, or any other kind of help): and forbids Al-Fāḥshā' (i.e., all evil deeds, e.g., illegal sexual acts, disobedience of parents, polytheism, to tell lies, to give false witness, to kill a life without right), and Al-Munkar (i.e., all that is prohibited by Islāmic law: polytheism of every kind, disbelief and every kind of evil deeds), and Al-Baghy (i.e., all kinds of oppression), He admonishes you, that you may take heed." (V.16:90)

6063. Narrated 'Aīshah رضي الله عنها: The Prophet ﷺ continued for such and such period imagining that he has slept (had sexual relations) with his wives, and in fact he did not. One day he said to me, "O 'Aīshah! Allāh has instructed 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 (pointing at me), 'What is wrong with this man?' The latter replied, 'He is under the effect of magic.' The first one asked, 'Who had worked magic on him?' The other replied, 'Labīd bin A'sām.' The first one asked, 'What material (did he use)?' The other replied, 'The skin of the pollen of a male date-palm tree with a comb and the hair stuck to it, kept under a stone in the well of Dharwān.' Then the Prophet ﷺ went 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 Shayātīn (devils), and its water looks like the infusion of Hinnā leaves." Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered that those things be taken out. I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Why did you not treat yourself with Nashra or you don't want to disclose?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh has cured me; and I hate to spread the evil among the people."(1) 'Aīshah added, "(The magician) Labīd bin Aʿšam was a man from Banī Zuraiq, an ally of the Jews." (See H. 5765)

6063 - حَدَّثَنَا الحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: مَكَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي أَهْلَهُ وَلاَ يَأْتِي، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَقَالَ لِي ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ: " يَا عَائِشَةُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَفْتَانِي فِي أَمْرٍ اسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فِيهِ: أَتَانِي رَجُلاَنِ، فَجَلَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ وَالآخَرُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِي، فَقَالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ لِلَّذِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي: مَا بَالُ الرَّجُلِ؟ قَالَ: مَطْبُوبٌ، يَعْنِي مَسْحُورًا، قَالَ: وَمَنْ طَبَّهُ؟ قَالَ: لَبِيدُ بْنُ أَعْصَمَ، قَالَ: وَفِيمَ؟ قَالَ: فِي جُفِّ طَلْعَةٍ ذَكَرٍ فِي مُشْطٍ وَمُشَاقَةٍ، تَحْتَ رَعُوفَةٍ فِي بِئْرِ ذَرْوَانَ " فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ البِئْرُ الَّتِي أُرِيتُهَا، كَأَنَّ رُءُوسَ نَخْلِهَا رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ، وَكَأَنَّ مَاءَهَا نُقَاعَةُ الحِنَّاءِ» فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُخْرِجَ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَهَلَّا، تَعْنِي تَنَشَّرْتَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَّا اللَّهُ فَقَدْ شَفَانِي، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُثِيرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ شَرًّا» قَالَتْ: وَلَبِيدُ بْنُ أَعْصَمَ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ، حَلِيفٌ لِيَهُودَ
