Chapter 43: Whoever likes good signs and dislikes omens - كتاب الطب
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ أَبِي جَنَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لاَ عَدْوَى وَلاَ طِيَرَةَ وَلاَ هَامَةَ " . فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْبَعِيرُ يَكُونُ بِهِ الْجَرَبُ فَتَجْرَبُ بِهِ الإِبِلُ . قَالَ " ذَلِكَ الْقَدَرُ فَمَنْ أَجْرَبَ الأَوَّلَ " .
Ibn
‘Umar said:
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘There is no
‘Adwa, no omen, and no Hamah.’ A man stood up and said: ‘O
Messenger
of Allah, what if a camel has mange and another camel gets
mange from
it?’ He said: ‘That is the Divine decree. Who causes
the mange in the
first one?’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ سَحَرَ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَهُودِيٌّ مِنْ يَهُودِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الأَعْصَمِ حَتَّى كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ الشَّىْءَ وَلاَ يَفْعَلُهُ . قَالَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَوْ كَانَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ثُمَّ دَعَا ثُمَّ دَعَا ثُمَّ قَالَ " يَا عَائِشَةُ أَشَعَرْتِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَفْتَانِي فِيمَا اسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فِيهِ جَاءَنِي رَجُلاَنِ فَجَلَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِي وَالآخَرُ عِنْدَ رِجْلِي فَقَالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي لِلَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلِي أَوِ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلِي لِلَّذِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي مَا وَجَعُ الرَّجُلِ قَالَ مَطْبُوبٌ . قَالَ مَنْ طَبَّهُ قَالَ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الأَعْصَمِ . قَالَ فِي أَىِّ شَىْءٍ قَالَ فِي مُشْطٍ وَمُشَاطَةٍ وَجُفِّ طَلْعَةِ ذَكَرٍ . قَالَ وَأَيْنَ هُوَ قَالَ فِي بِئْرِ ذِي أَرْوَانَ " . قَالَتْ فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ " وَاللَّهِ يَا عَائِشَةُ لَكَأَنَّ مَاءَهَا نُقَاعَةُ الْحِنَّاءِ وَلَكَأَنَّ نَخْلَهَا رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ " . قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ أَحْرَقْتَهُ قَالَ " لاَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ عَافَانِيَ اللَّهُ وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُثِيرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنْهُ شَرًّا " . فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَدُفِنَتْ .
It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said:
“A Jew from among the Jews of Bani
Zuraiq, whose name was Labid bin A’sam, cast a spell on the Prophet
(ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) began to imagine that he had done
something when he had not. One day, or one night, the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) supplicated, and then supplicated again. Then he said: ‘O
‘Aishah, do you know that Allah has instructed me concerning the
matter 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 at my head said to the one at my feet, or the one at my feet said to the one at my head "what is ailing this man ?" He
said: “He has been affected by a spell.” He said: “Who cast the
spell on him?” He said: “Labid bin A’sam.” He said: “With
what?” He said: “With a comb and the hairs stuck to it, and the
spathe of a male date palm.” He said: “Where is that?” He said:
“In the well of Dhu Arwan.”
She said: “So the Prophet (ﷺ) went to it, with a group of his Companions, then he came and said: ‘By Allah. O ‘Aishah. It was as if its water was infused with henna and its date palms were like the heads of devils.’”
She said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, why don’t you burn them?’ He said: ‘As for me, Allah has healed me, and I do not like to let evil spread among the people.’ Then he issued orders that the well be filled up with earth.”
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that Umm Salamah said:
“O Messenger of
Allah, every year you are still suffering pain because of the
poisoned
meat that you ate.” He said: “Nothing that happens to
me, but it was
decreed for me when Adam was still at the stage of
being clay.’”
It was
narrated from Khawlah bint Hakim that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“If
anyone of you, when he stops to camp (while on a journey), says
A’udhu bi kalimatil-lahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq (I seek
refuge
in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of that which He
has
created), then nothing will harm him in that place until he moves
on.”
“When the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) appointed me as governor of Ta’if, I began to get
confused during my prayer, until I no longer knew what I was doing.
When I noticed that, I travelled to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and
he said: ‘The son of Abul-‘As?’ I said: ‘Yes, O Messenger of
Allah.’
He said: ‘What brings you here?’ He said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah, I get
confused during my prayer, until I do not
know what I am doing.’ He
said: ‘That is Satan. Come here.’ So
I came close to him, and sat upon
the front part of my feet then he
struck my chest with his hand and
put some spittle in my mouth and
said: ‘Get out, O enemy of Allah!’ He
did that three times, then
he said: ‘Get on with your work.’” ‘Uthman
said: “Indeed, I
never felt confused (during my prayer) after that.”
It was
narrated from ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila that his father Abu
Laila
said:
“I was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a Bedouin came
to
him and said: ‘I have a brother who is sick.’ He said: ‘What is
the
matter with your brother?’ He said: ‘He suffers from a slight
mental
derangement.’ He said: ‘Go and bring him.’” He said:
“(So he went) and
he brought him. He made him sit down in front of
him and I heard him
seeking refuge for him with Fatihatil-Kitab; four
Verses from the
beginning of Al-Baqarah, two Verses from its middle:
‘And your Ilah
(God) is One Ilah (God – Allah),’ [2:163] and
Ayat Al-Kursi; and three
Verses from its end; a Verse from Al ‘Imran,
I think it was: ‘Allah
bears witness that La ilaha illa Huwa (none
has the right to be
worshipped but He),’ [3:18] a Verse from
Al-A’raf: ‘Indeed, your Lord
is Allah,’ [7:54] a Verse from
Al-Mu’minun: ‘And whoever invokes (or
worships), besides Allah,
any other ilah (god), of whom he has no
proof,’[23:117] a Verse
from Al-Jinn: ‘And He, exalted is the Majesty
of our Lord,’
[72:3] ten Verses from the beginning of As-Saffat; three
Verses from
the end of Al-Hashr; (then) ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One,’
[112:1] and Al-Mu’awwidhatain. Then the Bedouin stood up, healed,
and
there was nothing wrong with him.”
