حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ رَبَاحٍ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ لَبِثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ يَرَى أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي وَلَا يَأْتِي فَأَتَاهُ مَلَكَانِ فَجَلَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَالْآخَرُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِلْآخَرِ مَا بَالُهُ قَالَ مَطْبُوبٌ قَالَ مَنْ طَبَّهُ قَالَ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الْأَعْصَمِ قَالَ فِيمَ قَالَ فِي مُشْطٍ وَمُشَاطَةٍ فِي جُفِّ طَلْعَةِ ذَكَرٍ فِي بِئْرِ ذَرْوَانَ تَحْتَ رَاعُوفَةٍ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ أَيْ عَائِشَةُ أَلَمْ تَرَيْنَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَفْتَانِي فِيمَ اسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فَأَتَى الْبِئْرَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ الْبِئْرُ الَّتِي أُرِيتُهَا وَاللَّهِ كَأَنَّ مَاءَهَا نُقَاعَةُ الْحِنَّاءِ وَكَأَنَّ رُءُوسَ نَخْلِهَا رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَوْ أَنَّكَ كَأَنَّهَا تَعْنِي أَنْ يَنْتَشِرَ قَالَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ قَدْ عَافَانِي اللَّهُ وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُثِيرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنْهُ شَرًّا.
English Translation
Aisha narrated the full account of the Prophet's bewitchment: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) remained for six months thinking he had done something when he had not. Two angels came - one sat at his head and the other at his feet. One asked: 'What ails the man?' The other said: 'He has been bewitched.' 'Who bewitched him?' 'Labid ibn al-A'sam.' 'In what?' 'In a comb, some hair, and the spathe of a male date palm, in the well of Dharwan, under a stone.' The Prophet woke and said: 'O Aisha, did you see that Allah has answered me regarding what I asked Him?' He went to the well and ordered it to be taken out. He said: 'This is the well I was shown. By Allah, its water is like henna soaking and its palm trees are like the heads of devils.' When asked to burn it, he said: 'Allah has healed me, and I dislike to stir up evil among people from it.'"
