It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: A Jew from Banu Zuraiq named Labid bin A'sam cast magic upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), to the extent that its effect was such that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would think he had done something, while in fact he had not done it. This continued until one day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made supplication, then made supplication again and said: "Aisha! I have understood that Allah Almighty has accepted my supplication. Two men came to me, one sat by my head and the other by my feet. The one sitting by my head said to the one by my feet, or the one by my feet said to the one by my head: 'What is wrong with this man?' He replied: 'He has been affected by magic.' He asked: 'Who has done magic on him?' He replied: 'Labid bin A'sam.' He asked: 'In what?' He replied: 'In a comb, in the hair that falls out during combing, and in the cover of a male date palm's spadix.' He asked: 'Where is this (magic) now?' He replied: 'It is in the well of Arwan.' Sayyida (Aisha) says: People went towards that well. In one narration: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself went towards that well. There were date palms growing by it. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned and said: 'O Aisha! Its water looked as if henna had been soaked in it, and its date palms looked like the heads of devils.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Why did you not burn (the object of magic) after taking it out?' In one narration: 'You should burn it.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'No, Allah Almighty has granted me well-being, and now I dislike to spread this evil unnecessarily among the people.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered and it was buried.
