Allaah Says (what means): "Say: 'I seek refuge in the Lord of
daybreak. From the evil of that which He created. And from the evil of
darkness when it settles. And from the evil of the blowers in knots.
And from the evil of an envier when he envies.'" [Quran113:1-5]
Explanation
1. "Say: 'I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak."
Jaabir said that Falaq means morning. Ibn 'Abbaas said that Falaqmeans
creation. Ka'b Al-Ahbar said that Falaq is a place in Hell - when its
gate is opened, all the inmates of Hell cry out because of the
intensity of its heat. Imaams Ibn Jareer and Al-Bukhaari said that it
means morning, and this view seems reasonable. Allaah directsbelievers
to seek refuge in the Lord of the Falaq.
2. "From the evil of that which Hecreated."
Meaning, to seek refuge from the evil that He (i.e.,Allaah Almighty)
created. His creation includes Hell,Iblees (Satan) and his offspring,
and other evil things.
3. "And from the evil of Ghaasiq (darkness) when it settles ."
One should seek refuge from the evil of nightfall. According to Ibn
Zayd, the Arabs termed the setting of the Pleiades star as 'Ghaasiq'
and believed that after its setting and at its rising, disease
increases and spreads. Some commentators say that the word Ghaasiq
means moon. They base their argument on a Hadeeth (narration) where
the Prophet once held the hand of 'Aa'ishah and pointed to the moon,
saying: "Seek refuge from the evil of this Ghaasiq." [Ahmad] However,
the rising of the moon and the appearance of the stars are things that
happen atnight.
4. "And from the evil of the blowers in knots."
5. "And from the evil of an envier when he envies."
"…The blowers in knots… " refers to sorcerers. Mujaahid said: "(It is)
when they make their incantations and blow onthe knots." Ibn Jareer
quoted Ibn Taawwoos assaying, on the authority of his father: "There
is nothing closer to Shirk (polytheism) than those incantations used
as a protection from snakes and insanity, etc." Such incantations are
made to blow on a snake bite or magic-stricken man. A Hadeeth says
that Jibreel once came to the Prophet and asked: "O Muhammad! Are you
sick?" When the Prophet replied in the affirmative, he said:"Invoke
the Name of Allaah against every disease that pains you, against the
evil of every envier and against any evil eye. May Allaah heal you."
The disease referred to in this Hadeeth was probably a magic spell.
Allaah then healed His Messenger and repelled that magic.
Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal reported that a Jew bewitched the Prophet who
remained under its spell for several days. Then Jibreel, peace be upon
him, came to him and informed him that such and such a Jew had
bewitched him and had hidden a knotted rope down such and such a well
and asked him to send somebody to get it. When the Prophet received
it, he untied the knots, and the spell was broken. He never mentioned
it to that Jew nor showed him any anger.
'Aa'ishah narrated:"Once when the Prophet was under a magic spell, he
thought that he had come to his wives while he had not done so. Once,
he said to me: "Iasked my Lord and He showed me. Two personscame and
one sat near my head and the other near my legs. The man sitting near
my head asked the other: 'What has happened to this man.' He replied:
'He is under a spell.' (The first) asked: 'Who bewitched him?' (The
second) answered: 'Labeed Ibn Al-A'sam from the Banu Zurayq tribe.
They are allies of the Jews.' The (first) man asked: 'What was the
item used for charming?' The other answered: 'The comb andthe hair.'
(The first) asked: 'Where are those things?' The other answered: 'In
the well of Dharwan, under a rock."' The Prophet sent 'Ali to the well
and had the things dug out. I ('Aa'ishah) suggested that the magician
should be punished. The Prophet replied: "All praise is due toAllaah
who healed me; I do not like to incite people for myself."
