A man who is bewitched or poisoned and is treated

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). She said: Whoever is afflicted by possession, magic or poison should come to the river Euphrates, face the current of the water, and immerse himself in the river seven times.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: A Jewish man cast magic on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) suffered from it for some days. Then Jibril came to him and said: "A certain man of the Jews has cast magic on you, and he has tied some knots for you." So he sent Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to those knots (that thread), and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) took it out and came to him. Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) undid one of the knots, he felt lighter because of it. The narrator said: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up as though he had been freed from a bond. Yet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never mentioned this to that Jewish man, nor did that Jew ever discern it from his face.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). She said: One of the Jews of Banu Zurayq, whose name was Labid bin al-A'sam, cast magic on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). (Its effect) reached the point that he would imagine that he had done something when he had not done it. Then, one day or one night, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated, then supplicated again, and then said: "O Aishah, do you know that Allah Almighty has told me what I asked Him about? Two men came to me; one of them sat at my head and the other at my feet. Then the one sitting at my head said to the one sitting at my feet, or the one at my feet said to the one sitting at my head: 'What is this man's ailment?' The other said: 'He has been affected by magic.' He asked: 'Who cast the magic on him?' The other said: 'Labid bin al-A'sam.' The first asked: 'In what did he cast the magic?' The other replied: 'In a comb, the hair that came out in it, and the spathe of a male date palm.' The first asked: 'Where are these things?' The other said: 'In the well of Dhu Arwan.'" So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to that well with a group of his Companions. Then he came back and said: "O Aishah, it was as if its water were water in which henna had been steeped, and as if its date palms were the heads of devils." She said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), why did you not burn it?" He said: "No, for Allah has granted me well-being, and I disliked stirring up any evil among the people by means of it." Then he gave orders concerning the well, and it was filled in.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: When Khaybar was conquered, a goat containing poison was presented as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered: "Gather to me all the Jews who are here." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "Did you put poison in this goat?" They replied: "Yes." He asked: "What drove you to do this?" They replied: "We wanted that if you were a liar, we would be rid of you, and if you were (truly) a prophet, it (the poison) would not harm you."

It is narrated about Ata that he saw no harm in a bewitched person and a man magically bound from his wife going to someone who could undo it (the magic).

Isma'il bin Ayyash said: I asked Ata al-Khurasani about a man magically bound from his wife and a bewitched person: what if they go to someone who treats it? Ata said: When a person is compelled to this degree, there is no harm in it.

Qatadah reports about Sa'id bin al-Musayyib: I asked him: A man has had magic cast on him; can he be treated? Sa'id replied: Yes. Whoever is able to benefit his brother should benefit him.
