Hasan al-Basri narrates: Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about nushrah (incantation-based treatment). He said: It was mentioned to me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about it and he said: It is part of the work of Satan.
Imam al-Bazzar recorded it, and Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, though he recorded these words: He said: People have mentioned that it is part of the work of Satan. The narrators of Imam al-Bazzar are the narrators of the Sahih.
