Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Allaah will protect you from mankind" [al-Maa'idah 5:67]?
How could he have beenbewitched when he was receiving Revelation from
His Lord and conveying that to the Muslims? How could he convey it if
he was bewitched, and the kaafirs and mushrikeen said:
"You follow none but a man bewitched"[al-Furqaan 25:8 – interpretation
of the meaning]
We hope that you could explain this and clear up these doubts.
Praise be to Allaah.
It was proven in a saheeh hadeeth that thiswitchcraft took place in
Madeenah, when the Revelation and the Message had become
well-established and clear, and after the evidence of Prophethood and
the truthfulness of the Message had been confirmed, and after Allaah
had supported HisProphet against the mushrikeen and humiliated them.
Then a Jewish person called Labeed ibn al-A'sam came to him and did
some kind of witchcraft against him, using a comb and the hairs
stuckto it and the skin of pollen of a male date palm. He – the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – started to
imagine that he had done something with his wife when he had not done
it, but his reason, feelings and ability to distinguish matters
remained with him with regard to the things he was telling thepeople,
praise be to Allaah. So he continued to speak to the people ofthe
truth which Allaah had revealed to Him. Buthe felt that something was
affecting him with regard to his wives, as 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be
pleased with her) said: "He used to imagine thathe had done something
in the house with his wife when he had not done it. So Revelation came
to him from his Lord via Jibreel (peace be upon him), telling him what
had happened. So he sent someone to take that thing [the material used
for witchcraft purposes] out of the well of one of the Ansaar, and he
destroyed it." Then the effects of that left him, praise be to Allaah,
and Allaah revealed to him the two soorahs of seeking refuge with
Allaah (al-Mi'wadhatayn,the last two soorahs of the Qur'aan). He
recited them and all harm left him. The Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: "Those who seek refuge can never seek
refuge with anything like them." Nothing resulted from this witchcraft
that could have harmed the people or undermined the Message or
Revelation. Allaah protected him from the people with regard to the
matter of receiving and conveying the Message.
But with regard to the kinds of harm that befellthe Messengers, he
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wasnot protected from
them, rather some such things befell him too. He was wounded on the
day of Uhud, and his helmet was smashed on his head and his cheek was
cut, some of the rings from his chain mailpierced his cheeks, he fell
in one of the holes that were there, and they subjected him to intense
persecution in Makkah. He suffered some of the things that the
Messengers before him had suffered, and that were decreed for him, by
means of which Allaah raised him in status and multiplied his hasanaat
(reward for good deeds). But Allaah protected him from them, so that
they were not able to kill him or to prevent him from conveying the
Message; they were not able to prevent him from fulfilling his
obligation to convey the Message, so he conveyed it and fulfilled the
mission withwhich he had been entrusted. May the peaceand blessings of
Allaah be upon him, and praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds.
