Narrated `Aisha: that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was affected by magic, so much that he used to think that he had done something
which in fact, he did not do, and he invoked his Lord (for a remedy). Then (one day) he said, “O
`Aisha!) Do you know that Allah has advised me as to the problem I consulted Him about?” `Aisha
said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! What’s that?” He said, “Two men came to me and one of them sat at my
head and the other at my feet, and one of them asked his companion, ‘What is wrong with this man?’
The latter replied, ‘He is under the effect of magic.’ The former asked, ‘Who has worked magic on
him?’ The latter replied, ‘Labid bin Al-A’sam.’ The former asked, ‘With what did he work the magic?’
The latter replied, ‘With a comb and the hair, which are stuck to the comb, and the skin of pollen of a
date-palm tree.’ The former asked, ‘Where is that?’ The latter replied, ‘It is in Dharwan.’ Dharwan was
a well in the dwelling place of the (tribe of) Bani Zuraiq. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) went to that well and
returned to `Aisha, saying, ‘By Allah, the water (of the well) was as red as the infusion of Hinna, (1)
and the date-palm trees look like the heads of devils.’ `Aisha added, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came to me and
informed me about the well. I asked the Prophet, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), why didn’t you take out the skin
of pollen?’ He said, ‘As for me, Allah has cured me and I hated to draw the attention of the people to
such evil (which they might learn and harm others with).’ ”
Narrated Hisham’s father: `Aisha said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was bewitched, so he invoked Allah
repeatedly requesting Him to cure him from that magic).” Hisham then narrated the above narration.
(See Hadith No. 658, Vol. 7)

Narrated Ibn Abi `Aufa: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) asked for Allah’s wrath upon the Ahzab (confederates), saying, “O Allah, the Revealer
of the Holy Book, and the One swift at reckoning! Defeat the confederates; Defeat them and shake
them.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: When the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Sami’ al-lahu liman hamidah (Allah heard him who sent his praises to Him)”
in the last rak`a of the `Isha’ prayer, he used to invoke Allah, saying, “O Allah! Save `Aiyash bin Abi
Rabi`a; O Allah! Save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid; O Allah! Save the weak people among the believers; O
Allah! Be hard on the Tribe of Mudar; O Allah! Inflict years of drought upon them like the years (of
drought) of the Prophet (ﷺ) Joseph.”

Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a Sariya (an army detachment) consisting of men called Al-Qurra’, and all of them
were martyred. I had never seen the Prophet (ﷺ) so sad over anything as he was over them. So he said
Qunut (invocation in the prayer) for one month in the Fajr prayer, invoking for Allah’s wrath upon the
tribe of ‘Usaiya, and he used to say, “The people of ‘Usaiya have disobeyed Allah and His Apostle.”

Narrated `Aisha: The Jews used to greet the Prophet (ﷺ) by saying, “As-Samu ‘Alaika (i.e., death be upon you), so I
understood what they said, and I said to them, “As-Samu ‘alaikum wal-la’na (i.e. Death and Allah’s
Curse be upon you).” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Be gentle and calm, O `Aisha, as Allah likes gentleness in all
affairs.” I said, “O Allah’s Prophet! Didn’t you hear what they said?” He said, “Didn’t you hear me
answering them back by saying, ‘Alaikum (i.e., the same be upon you)?”

Narrated Um Sulaim: that she said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Anas is your servant, so please invoke for Allah’s blessing for him.”
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O Allah! Increase his wealth and offspring and bless (for him) whatever You give
him.”

Narrated `Ali bin Abi Talib: We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day (of the battle) of Al-Khandaq (the Trench). The
Prophet said, “May Allah fill their (the infidels’) graves and houses with fire, as they have kept us so
busy that we could not offer the middle prayer till the sun had set; and that prayer was the `Asr
prayer.”

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Abu Talha, “Choose one of your boys to serve me.” So Abu Talha took me (to
serve the Prophet (ﷺ) ) by giving me a ride behind him (on his camel). So I used to serve Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
whenever he stayed somewhere. I used to hear him saying, “O Allah! I seek refuge with you (Allah)
from (worries) care and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from
being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by other men.” I kept on serving him till he
returned from (the battle of) Khaibar. He then brought Safiya, the daughter of Huyay whom he had
got (from the booty). I saw him making a kind of cushion with a cloak or a garment for her. He then
let her ride behind him. When we reached a place called As-Sahba’, he prepared (a special meal
called) Hais, and asked me to invite the men who (came and) ate, and that was the marriage banquet
given on the consummation of his marriage to her. Then he proceeded till the mountain of Uhud
appeared, whereupon he said, “This mountain loves us and we love it.” When he approached Medina,
he said, “O Allah! I make the land between its (i.e., Medina’s) two mountains a sanctuary, as the
prophet Abraham made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless them (the people of Medina) in their Mudd
and the Sa’ (units of measuring).

Narrated Um Khalid bint Khalid: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) seeking refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave.

Narrated Mus`ab: Sa`d used to recommend five (statements) and mentioned that the Prophet (ﷺ) I used to recommend it. (It
was) “O Allah! I seek refuge with You from miserliness; and seek refuge with You from cowardice;
and seek refuge with You from being sent back to geriatric old age; and I seek refuge with You from
the affliction of this world (i.e., the affliction of Ad-Dajjal etc.); and seek refuge with You from the
punishment of the grave.”
