Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا رِبْعِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا قَالَ وَكَانَ يَفْضُلُ عَلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ عَنْ عُمَيْرٍ مَوْلَى آبِي اللَّحْمِ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ سَادَتِي خَيْبَرَ فَأَمَرَ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلِّدْتُ سَيْفًا فَإِذَا أَنَا أَجُرُّهُ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ عَبْدٌ مَمْلُوكٌ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ لِي بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خُرْثِيِّ الْمَتَاعِ قَالَ وَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ رُقْيَةً كُنْتُ أَرْقِي بِهَا الْمَجَانِينَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَ اطْرَحْ مِنْهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا وَارْقِ بِمَا بَقِيَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَأَدْرَكْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَرْقِي بِهَا الْمَجَانِينَ.
English Translation
Rib'i b. Ibrahim, brother of Isma'il Ibn 'Ulayyah — and he praised him well, saying he excelled Isma'il — told us, 'Abd al-Rahman b. Ishaq told us, from Muhammad b. Zayd b. al-Muhajir, from 'Umayr, the mawla of Abi al-Lahm, who said: I witnessed Khaybar with my masters, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, gave orders concerning me, and I was girded with a sword, but I found myself dragging it. It was said to him that he was an owned slave. He said: So he ordered that I be given something of the odds and ends of the spoils. He said: And I presented to him an incantation with which I used to treat the insane in the pre-Islamic era. He said: "Discard such-and-such of it, and use what remains." Muhammad b. Zayd said: And I found him still using it to treat the insane.
