Sahih Muslim Book - 39, Hadith - 5703

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : سَحَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَهُودِيٌّ مِنْ يَهُودِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : لَبِيدُ بْنُ الأَعْصَمِ : قَالَتْ حَتَّى كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ الشَّيْءَ ، وَمَا يَفْعَلُهُ ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، أَوْ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ، دَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ دَعَا ، ثُمَّ دَعَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا عَائِشَةُ أَشَعَرْتِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَفْتَانِي فِيمَا اسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فِيهِ ؟ جَاءَنِي رَجُلاَنِ فَقَعَدَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِي وَالآخَرُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي لِلَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ ، أَوِ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ لِلَّذِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي: مَا وَجَعُ الرَّجُلِ ؟ قَالَ: مَطْبُوبٌ ، قَالَ: مَنْ طَبَّهُ ؟ قَالَ : لَبِيدُ بْنُ الأَعْصَمِ ، قَالَ: فِي أَيِّ شَيْءٍ ؟ قَالَ : فِي مُشْطٍ وَمُشَاطَةٍ ، قَالَ: وَجُفِّ طَلْعَةِ ذَكَرٍ ، قَالَ: فَأَيْنَ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: فِي بِئْرِ ذِي أَرْوَانَ. قَالَتْ: فَأَتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا عَائِشَةُ وَاللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّ مَاءَهَا نُقَاعَةُ الْحِنَّاءِ ، وَلَكَأَنَّ نَخْلَهَا رُؤُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ. قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَفَلاَ أَحْرَقْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ: لاَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ عَافَانِي اللَّهُ، وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُثِيرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ شَرًّا ، فَأَمَرْتُ بِهَا فَدُفِنَتْ.

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “A spell was cast on Prophet (s.a.w) until he imagined that he had done a thing when he had not done it. One day – or one night – the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said a Dua, then he said: ‘O ‘Aishah, do you know that Allah has responded concerning that which I asked Him about? Two men came to me and one of them sat at my head and the other at my feet. The one who was at my head said to the one who was at my feet said to the one who was at my head: “What is ailing the man?” He said: “He has been bewitched him?” He said: “Who has bewitched him?” He said: “Labid bin Al-A’sam.” He said: “With what?” He said: “With a comb, the hair that is stuck to it, and the pollen of a male date palm.” He said: “Where is it?” He said: “In the well of Dhu Arwan.” She said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) went to it, with some of his companions, then he said: ‘O Aishah, by Allah, its water is like an infusion of henna and its date palms are like the head of devils."' "I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, why don’t you burn it?’ He said: ‘No. Allah had healed me, and I feared that it might bring evil upon the people. But I ordered that it be filled in.”’
