[2008] 46 - (868) It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbās that ẖimād came to Makkah. He was from (the tribe of) Azd Shanū'ah, and he used to treat people with Ruqyā' (in the case of Jinn possession). He heard the fools among the people of Makkah saying that Muḥammad was possessed. He said: “If I see this man, perhaps Allāh will heal him at my hands.” So he met him and he said: “O Muḥammad, I treat people with Ruqyā' in the case of Jinn possession, and Allāh heals at my hands whomsoever He wills. Do you want that?” The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Praise be to Allāh, We praise Him and seek His help. Whomsoever Allāh guides, none can lead astray, and whomsoever He sends astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allāh alone with no partner, and I bear witness that Muḥammad is His slave and Messenger.” ẖimād said: “Say these words of yours to me again.” The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ repeated them three times and (ẖimād) said: “I have heard the words of the
soothsayers and the words of the magicians and the words of the 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 Allāh ﷺ said: "And on behalf of your people." He said: "And on behalf of my people." (The narration said:) The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ 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 Ḍimād."
