QuizTime (105): Who was that person, bewitched (done a magic on) Prophet Muhammed(pbuh) & how He did?

 

Ans: Labeed ibn Al-A’sam(May Allah cruse upon him)  & He used comb and hair of Prophet(pbuh) & outer skin of the pollen of a male date-palm.

The Prophet(pbuh) was bewitched by Labeed ibn Al-A’sam, who had strong relations with the Jews, and the Jews requested his assistance due to him being renowned for his experience in magic.

The Prophet (pbuh)   was afflicted by this magic for six months. He (pbuh)   would think that he was sleeping with his wives while in fact he was not. He (pbuh)   persevered through this period, and when he feared that it would affect his zeal for worship, he (pbuh)   supplicated to Allah, asking Him to remove it from him.

 A’ishah (r.a)  narrated: “Magic was done on the Prophet (pbuh)   so he began to think that he was doing things that he was not actually doing. One day, he (pbuh)   invoked (Allah) for a long period and then said: "I feel that Allah has inspired me as how to cure myself. Two persons came to me (in a dream) and sat down, one by my head and the other by my feet. One of them asked the other: 'What is the sickness of this man?' The other replied: 'He has been bewitched.' The first asked: 'Who has bewitched him?' The other replied: 'Labeed ibn Al-A'sam.' The first one asked: 'What materials did he use?' The other replied: 'A comb, the hair gathered on it, and the outer skin of the pollen of a male date-palm.' The first asked: 'Where are they?' The other replied: 'In the well of Tharwan.'"

 So the Prophet (pbuh)   headed out towards the well. He later returned and said to me: "The date-palms (i.e., the ones on the well) are like the heads of devils." 

I asked: 'Did you take out those things with which the magic was done?' He (pbuh)   replied: "No, for I have been cured by Allah, and I am afraid that this action may spread evil amongst the people." Later on the well was filled up with earth." [Al-Bukhari]

The hair that was on the comb was taken, and a knot was made in which the magic was placed; then, the hair that contained the magic was placed inside the outer skin of the pollen of a male date-palm, and this was placed under a rock, inside the well. When some

Companions (r.a) went to remove this magic from the well, they found that its water was the colour of Henna, due to the effect of magic on it.

The Prophet (pbuh)   was inspired by Allah as to where the location of the magic was; it was removed and the knot was undone, so the magic was ruined.
