وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى - قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنِى عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى وَهُوَ أَبُو هَمَّامٍ - حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ ضِمَادًا قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَزْدِ شَنُوءَةَ وَكَانَ يَرْقِى مِنْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ فَسَمِعَ سُفَهَاءَ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا مَجْنُونٌ. فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنِّى رَأَيْتُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَشْفِيهِ عَلَى يَدَىَّ - قَالَ - فَلَقِيَهُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّى أَرْقِى مِنْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَشْفِى عَلَى يَدِى مَنْ شَاءَ فَهَلْ لَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلاَ مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلاَ هَادِىَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ ». قَالَ فَقَالَ أَعِدْ عَلَىَّ كَلِمَاتِكَ هَؤُلاَءِ. فَأَعَادَهُنَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ - قَالَ - فَقَالَ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ قَوْلَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَقَوْلَ السَّحَرَةِ وَقَوْلَ الشُّعَرَاءِ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِثْلَ كَلِمَاتِكَ هَؤُلاَءِ وَلَقَدْ بَلَغْنَ نَاعُوسَ الْبَحْرِ - قَالَ - فَقَالَ هَاتِ يَدَكَ أُبَايِعْكَ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ - قَالَ - فَبَايَعَهُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « وَعَلَى قَوْمِكَ ». قَالَ وَعَلَى قَوْمِى - قَالَ - فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- سَرِيَّةً فَمَرُّوا بِقَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ السَّرِيَّةِ لِلْجَيْشِ هَلْ أَصَبْتُمْ مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَصَبْتُ مِنْهُمْ مِطْهَرَةً. فَقَالَ رُدُّوهَا فَإِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ قَوْمُ ضِمَادٍ.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that Dimad came to Makkah. He was from (the tribe of) Azd Shanu'ah, and he used to treat people with Ruqya' (in the case of Jinn possession). He heard the fools among the people of Makkah saying that Muhammad was possessed. He said: "If I see this man, perhaps Allah will heal him at my hands." So he met him and he said: "O Muhammad, I treat people with Ruqya' in the case of Jinn possession, and Allah heals at my hands whomsoever He wills. Do you want that?" The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Praise be to Allah, We praise Him and seek His help . Whomsoever Allah guides, none can lead astray, and whomsoever He sends astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah alone with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger." Dimad said: "Say these words of yours to me again." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) repeated them three times and (Dimad) said: "I have heard the words of the soothsayers and the words of the magicians and the words of the poets, but I have never heard anything like these words of yours. You have scaled the heights of eloquence." He said: "Give me your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to in Islam." So he gave him his pledge of allegiance, then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "And on behalf of your people." He said: "And on behalf of my people." (The narration said:) The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent out a raiding party and they passed by his people. The commander of the party said to his troops: "Did you take anything from these people?" One man said: "I took a vessel for water from them." He said: "Give it back, for these are the people of Dimad."
