مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5208 — he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
وَحَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْجَزَّارِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أُخْتِ زَيْنَبَ ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ امْرَأَةِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، يَقُولُ : إِنَّ الرُّقَى وَالتَّمَائِمَ وَالتِّوَلَةَ شِرْكٌ ، قَالَتْ : فَقُلْتُ : لِمَ تَقُولُ هَذَا ؟ وَقَدْ كَانَتْ عَيْنِي تَقْذِفُ ، وَكُنْتُ أَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى فُلَانٍ الْيَهُودِيِّ فَيَرْقِيهَا ، كَانَ إِذَا رَقَاهَا سَكَنَتْ ، قَالَ : إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ عَمَلُ الشَّيْطَانِ ، كَانَ يَنْخُسُهَا بِيَدِهِ ، فَإِذَا رَقَيْتِهَا كَفَّ عَنْهَا ، إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكِ أَنْ تَقُولِي كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ رَبَّ النَّاسِ ، وَاشْفِ وَأَنْتَ الشَّافِي شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, (polytheistic) incantations, amulets and tiwalah (sorcery done to induce love) are shirk." Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) (the wife of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him)) relates that I said: "Why do you say this? When the situation was that my eye used to shed tears (from pain), and I used to go to a certain Jew, and when he recited an incantation over it, it would settle down." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "That was merely the work of Satan; he used to prod it with his hand, and when you had it recited over, he would stop. It would have been enough for you to say as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Adhhibil-ba's, Rabban-nas, washfi wa antash-shafi, shifa'an la yughadiru saqama' (Remove the harm, O Lord of mankind, and grant cure, You are the One who cures, a complete cure that leaves behind no illness)."
