The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “No ‘Adwa nor Tiyara; but I like Fal.” They said, “What is the Fal?” He said, “A
good word.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “there is neither ‘Adwa nor Tiyara, and an evil omen is only in three: a horse, a
woman and a house.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “No ‘Adwa.” Abu Huraira also said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The cattle suffering from
a disease should not be mixed up with healthy cattle (or said “Do not put a patient with a healthy
person as a precaution.”) Abu Huraira also said: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “No ‘Adwa.” A bedouin got up
and said, “Don’t you see how camels on the sand look like deer but when a mangy camel mixes with
them, they all get infected with mange?” On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Then who conveyed the (mange)
disease to the first camel?”

I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “If Somebody takes seven ‘Ajwa dates in the morning, neither magic
nor poison will hurt him that day.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘No ‘Adwa (i.e. no contagious disease is conveyed to
others without Allah’s permission); nor (any evil omen in the month of)
Safar; nor Hama” A bedouin said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! What about the
camels which, when on the sand (desert) look like deers, but when a
mangy camel mixes with them they all get infected with mange?” On that
Allah s Apostle said, “Then who conveyed the (mange) disease to the
first (mangy) camel?”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: The cattle (sheep, cows, camels, etc.) suffering
from a disease should not be mixed up with healthy cattle, (or said:
“Do not put a patient with a healthy person ). ” (as a precaution).

Magic was worked on Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) so that he began to imagine that he had done something
although he had not. One day while he was with me, he invoked Allah and invoked for a long period
and then said, “O `Aisha! Do you know that Allah has instructed me regarding the matter I asked Him
about?” I asked, “What is that, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” He said, “Two men came to me; one of them sat
near my head and the other sat near my feet. One of them asked his companion, ‘What is the disease of
this man?’ The other replied, ‘He is under the effect of magic.’ The first one asked, ‘Who has worked
magic on him?” The other replied, ‘Labid bin A’sam, a Jew from the tribe of Bani Zuraiq.’ The (first
one asked), ‘With what has it been done?’ The other replied, ‘With a a comb and the hair stuck to it and
a skin of the pollen of a male datepalm tree.’ The first one asked, ‘Where is it?’ The other replied, ‘In
the well of Dharwan.’ Then the Prophet (ﷺ) went along with some of his companions to that well and
looked at that and there were date palms near to it. Then he returned to me and said, ‘By Allah the
water of that well was (red) like the infusion of Henna leaves and its date-palms were like the heads of
devils” I said, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Did you take those materials out of the pollen skin?” He said, ‘No!
As for me Allah has healed me and cured me and I was afraid that (by Showing that to the people) I
would spread evil among them when he ordered that the well be filled up with earth, and it was filled
up with earth ”

Two men came from the East and addressed the people who wondered at their eloquent speeches On
that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said. Some eloquent speech is as effective as magic.’

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If somebody takes some `Ajwa dates every morning, he will not be affected by
poison or magic on that day till night.” (Another narrator said seven dates).

A man called Labid bin al-A’sam from the tribe of Bani Zaraiq worked magic on Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) till
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) started imagining that he had done a thing that he had not really done. One day or one
night he was with us, he invoked Allah and invoked for a long period, and then said, “O `Aisha! Do
you know that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I have asked him about? Two men came
to me and one of them sat near my head and the other near my feet. One of them said to his
companion, “What is the disease of this man?” The other replied, “He is under the effect of magic.’
The first one asked, ‘Who has worked the magic on him?’ The other replied, “Labid bin Al-A’sam.’
The first one asked, ‘What material did he use?’ The other replied, ‘A comb and the hairs stuck to it
and the skin of pollen of a male date palm.’ The first one asked, ‘Where is that?’ The other replied,
‘(That is) in the well of Dharwan;’ ” So Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) along with some of his companions went there
and came back saying, “O `Aisha, the color of its water is like the infusion of Henna leaves. The tops
of the date-palm trees near it are like the heads of the devils.” I asked. “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)? Why did
you not show it (to the people)?” He said, “Since Allah cured me, I disliked to let evil spread among
the people.” Then he ordered that the well be filled up with earth.
