أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ
سَحَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَهُودِيٌّ مِنْ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الْأَعْصَمِ حَتَّى كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ الشَّيْءَ وَمَا يَفْعَلُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَوْ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ دَعَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ أَشَعُرْتِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَدْ أَفْتَانِي فِيمَا اسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ قَدْ جَاءَنِي رَجُلَانِ فَجَلَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِي وَجَلَسَ الْآخَرُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ فَقَالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ لِلَّذِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي مَا وَجَعُ الرَّجُلِ؟ قَالَ مَطْبُوبٌ قَالَ وَمَنْ طَبَّهُ؟ قَالَ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الْأَعْصَمِ قَالَ فِي أَيِّ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ فِي مُشْطٍ وَمُشَاطَةٍ وَجُفِّ طَلْعَةِ ذَكَرٍ قَالَ وَأَيْنَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ فِي بِئْرِ ذِي ذَرْوَانَ» قَالَ فَأَتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ فَكَأَنَّ مَاءَهَا نُقَاعَةُ الْحِنَّاءِ وَلَكَأَنَّ نَخْلَهَا رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَهَلَّا أَحْرَقْتَهُ أَوْ أَخْرَجْتَهُ؟ قَالَ «أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ عَافَانِيَ اللَّهُ وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُثِيرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا» فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَدُفِنَتْ

✧ A Jew from Banu Zurayq, called Labid b. al-A'sam, bewitched the Prophet ﷺ until the Prophet ﷺ would imagine that he had done something when he had not done it. Then one day or one night, the Prophet ﷺ supplicated, then supplicated again, then said, 'O 'A'ishah, do you know that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has answered me in what I asked Him? Two men came to me: one sat at my head and the other at my feet. The one at my feet said to the one at my head, "What is the man's ailment?" He said, "He is bewitched." He said, "Who bewitched him?" He said, "Labid b. al-A'sam." He said, "In what?" He said, "In a comb and hair combings and the spathe of a male date palm." He said, "Where is it?" He said, "In the well of Dhi Arwan."' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to it with a group of his companions, then came back and said, 'O 'A'ishah, its water was as if it were the infusion of henna, and its palm trees were as if they were the heads of devils.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why did you not burn it or take it out?' He said, 'As for me, Allah has healed me, and I disliked to stir up any evil among the people because of it.' So he ordered it, and it was buried.
