Hadith 1

from Ayesha, and Ibn Abbas. And this is not allowed because from the description that he-saww was bewitched. It is as if his-saww intellect had been stupefied, and Allah-azwj the Glorious has Refused that in His-azwj Words: And the unjust ones say, ‘You are only following a man bewitched! ’ [25: 8] Look how they are striking the examples for you. They have strayed, therefore they are unable to find a way [25: 9]. But it is possible that it would have been the Jew or his daughters, based upon what is reported. They had struggled in doing that by they were not able upon it, and Allah-azwj Notified His-azwj Prophet-saww upon what they had done from the camouflage until it was extracted, and that is evidence upon his-saww truthfulness. And how can it be allowed that he-saww would be sick from their deeds? And if they had been able upon that, they could have killed him and killed a lot of the Momineen due to the intensity of their enmity towards them? And he said regarding (Words of) the Glorious: And from evil of the blowers into the knots [113: 4], ‘It’s meaning is, and from evil of the female sorceresses, those who are blowing into the knots. And rather he-saww was Commanded with seeking the Refuge from the evil of the sorceresses due to their deception that they were making people sick and healthy, and they were doing things from the benefits and the harms, and the good and the evil, and generality of the people were ratifying them. So the harm in the Religion was magnified by that, and because they were imagining that they were serving the Jinn and were knowing the hidden matters, and that is a mischief in the Religion apparently. So, for the reason of this harm, he-saww was Commanded with seeking the Refuge from their evil’. And Abu Muslim said, ‘The blowing (upon the knots) by the women, those who were dictating the views of the men and turning them away from their purposes and returning them to their opinions, because the determination and the view are expressed by the knots, so it is an expression of their releasing with the blowing. The habit flowed that the one who unties a knot, should blow in it. And from evil of an envier when he envies [113: 5] – the envy carried him upon causing the evil with the envied one. So he-saww was Commanded with seeking the Refuge from it’s evil. And it is said, He-azwj Intended, from evil of the soul of the envier, and from evil of his eyes, for sometimes one is afflicted by them both so one would be damaged and harmed. And it has come in the Hadeeth that the evil eye is true, and the speech has already passed regarding it. And it is reported that Al-Azba’a, camel of the Prophet-saww, was not being overtaken (in any race). A Bedouin came upon a young camel of his. He raced with it and overtook him-saww. That was grievous upon the companions. The Prophet-saww said: ‘There is a right upon Allah‑azwj that He-azwj does not Raise anything from the world except He-azwj Drops it’’. And Anas (well-known fabricator) reported that the Prophet-saww said: ‘One who sees a thing fascinating him, so he says, ‘Allah-azwj is ‘Al-Samad’, whatever Allah-azwj so Desires. There is no strength except with Allah-azwj’, nothing would harm him’’. And it is reported by Anas (well-known fabricator), ‘The Prophet-saww used to frequently seek Refuge for Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws with these two Chapters (Surah Al Falaq and Surah Al Naas)’’ – end. And Al-Razi said, ‘They are differing regarding, is it allowed to be seeking the Refuge with the Ruqya and the amulet or not. From them is one who said it is allowed’. Then he mentioned their arguments with the afore-mentioned reports and others. And from the people there is one who prevents from performing the Ruqya due to what is reported from Jabir who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww had forbidden from the Ruqya and he-saww said: ‘There are servants for Allah-azwj who are neither cauterizing nor getting Ruqya done, and they are relying upon their Lord-azwj’. And he-asws said: ‘He is not relying upon Allah-azwj, the one who cauterizes and gets Ruqya done’’. And they are differing regarding the suspension (abeyance) as well. From them is one who denies some of the Ahadeeth and from them is one who allows. Al-Baqir-asws was asked about the amulet hanging upon the children, so he-asws allowed regarding it. And they are differing regarding the blowing (on the knots) as well. From them is one who denies. From Ikrimah (Bin Abu Jahl-la), ‘It is not befitting for the Ruqya performer than he blows (into knots), nor wipes, nor ties knots’ – up to the end of what he said’’.
