the other, "What is the ailment of this man?" The other
replied, 'He has been bewitched" The first asked, 'Who has
bewitched him?' The other replied, 'Lubaid bin Al-A'sam.' The

'A comb, the hair gathered on it, and the outer skin of the pollen
of the male date-palm.' The first asked, 'Where is that?' The
other replied, 'It is in the well of Dharwan.' " So, the
Prophet went out towards the well and then returned and said to
me on his return, "Its date-palms (the date-palms near the
well) are like the heads of the devils." I asked, "Did
you take out those things with which the magic was worked?"

that this action may spread evil amongst the people." Later
