Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10689

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A slave-woman of Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), the honoured wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), cast a spell of sorcery on her, and then she confessed it against herself. So Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave an order to Abd al-Rahman bin Yazid, and he killed that slave-woman. Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) objected to Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) about this. So Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him and told him that the slave-woman had cast a spell on her and had also confessed it. (The narrator says:) It seems that Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) had objected because she had done this herself, without the ruler of the time (that is, she had had her punished).
Al-Tabarani recorded it as a narration of Isma'il bin Ayyash from the people of Madinah, and
such a narration is da'if (weak); the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
