It was narrated from Hisham from his father, that Asma bint Abi Bakr said: “Az-Zubair married me and he did not have anything but his horse. I used to feed his horse, look after it for him, and groom it, and I used to grind date stones for his camel and feed it, and I would bring water and repair his bucket. I used to knead dough but it was not good at baking it, so some Ansari neighbors used to bake it for me, and they were sincere women, I used to bring the date stones from Az-Zubair’s which the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) had allocated to him. Carrying them on my head and it was two thirds of a parasang away. I came one day with the date stones on my head, and I met the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and a group of his Companions. He called me, then he said: “Ikh, Ikh’ (to make his camel kneel down) so that he could make me ride behind him, but I felt shy because I knew of jealousy.” He (Az-Zubair) said: “By Allah, for you to carry the date stones on your head is worse for me to bear than your riding behind him.” She said: “Then after that Abu Bakr sent me a servant who took care of the horse for me, and it was as if he freed me from slavery.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، قَالَتْ : تَزَوَّجَنِي الزُّبَيْرُ وَمَا لَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْ مَالٍ , وَلاَ مَمْلُوكٍ , وَلاَ شَيْءٍ ، غَيْرَ فَرَسِهِ ، قَالَتْ : فَكُنْتُ أَعْلِفُ فَرَسَهُ ، وَأَكْفِيهِ مَؤُونَتَهُ , وَأَسُوسُهُ , وَأَدُقُّ النَّوَى لِنَاضِحِهِ ، وَأَعْلِفُهُ ، وَأَسْتَقِي الْمَاءَ وَأَخْرُزُ غَرْبَهُ وَأَعْجِنُ ، وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أُحْسِنُ أَخْبِزُ ، وَكَانَ يَخْبِزُ لِي جَارَاتٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ , وَكُنَّ نِسْوَةَ صِدْقٍ ، قَالَتْ : وَكُنْتُ أَنْقُلُ النَّوَى مِنْ أَرْضِ الزُّبَيْرِ الَّتِي أَقْطَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَأْسِي ، وَهِيَ عَلَى ثُلُثَيْ فَرْسَخٍ قَالَتْ : فَجِئْتُ يَوْمًا وَالنَّوَى عَلَى رَأْسِي ، فَلَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , وَمَعَهُ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَدَعَانِي ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِخْ إِخْ لِيَحْمِلَنِي خَلْفَهُ ، قَالَتْ : فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ وَعَرَفْتُ غَيْرَتَكَ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَحَمْلُكِ النَّوَى عَلَى رَأْسِكِ أَشَدُّ مِنْ رُكُوبِكِ مَعَهُ ، قَالَتْ : حَتَّى أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ، بِخَادِمٍ فَكَفَتْنِي سِيَاسَةَ الْفَرَسِ , فَكَأَنَّمَا أَعْتَقَتْنِي.

Asma said: “I used to server Az-Zubair in the house and he had a horse, which I used to groom, and there was no part of the service that was harder for me than looking after the hours. I used to bring it grass and look after it, and groom it.” He (the sub narrator) said: “Then she got a servant. The Prophet (s.a.w) brought some prisoners of war and gave her a servant.” She said: “She looked after the horse for me, and she relieved me of that burden.” A man came to me and said: “O Umm ‘Abdullah, I am a poor man, and I want to set up business in the shade of your house.” She said: “If I allow you, Az-Zubair may refuse. Come and ask me when Az-Zubair is present.” He came back said: “O Umm ‘Abdullah, I am a poor man and I want to set up business in the shade of your house.” She said: “Is there no place in Al-Madinah other than my house?” Az-Zubair said to him: “Why would you prevent a poor man from doing business?” He sold things until he acquired some wealth, then I sold our slave woman to him, and Az-Zubair entered upon me when her price was in my lap. He said: “I have already decided to give it in charity.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْغُبَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ ، قَالَتْ : كُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ الزُّبَيْرَ خِدْمَةَ الْبَيْتِ ، وَكَانَ لَهُ فَرَسٌ ، وَكُنْتُ أَسُوسُهُ ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْخِدْمَةِ شَيْءٌ أَشَدَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْ سِيَاسَةِ الْفَرَسِ ، كُنْتُ أَحْتَشُّ لَهُ وَأَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَسُوسُهُ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا أَصَابَتْ خَادِمًا ، جَاءَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبْيٌ فَأَعْطَاهَا خَادِمًا ، قَالَتْ : كَفَتْنِي سِيَاسَةَ الْفَرَسِ ، فَأَلْقَتْ عَنِّي مَؤُونَتَهُ. فَجَاءَنِي رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ : يَا أُمَّ عَبْدِ اللهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ فَقِيرٌ ، أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبِيعَ فِي ظِلِّ دَارِكِ ، قَالَتْ : إِنِّي إِنْ رَخَّصْتُ لَكَ أَبَى ذَاكَ الزُّبَيْرُ ، فَتَعَالَ فَاطْلُبْ إِلَيَّ ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ شَاهِدٌ ، فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ : يَا أُمَّ عَبْدِ اللهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ فَقِيرٌ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبِيعَ فِي ظِلِّ دَارِكِ ، فَقَالَتْ : مَا لَكَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ إِلاَّ دَارِي ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا الزُّبَيْرُ : مَا لَكِ أَنْ تَمْنَعِي رَجُلاً فَقِيرًا يَبِيعُ ؟ فَكَانَ يَبِيعُ إِلَى أَنْ كَسَبَ ، فَبِعْتُهُ الْجَارِيَةَ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ وَثَمَنُهَا فِي حَجْرِي ، فَقَالَ : هَبِيهَا لِي ، قَالَتْ : إِنِّي قَدْ تَصَدَّقْتُ بِهَا.

It was narrated from Ibn “Umar that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “If there are three people, two should not converse privately to the exclusion of the third.”

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘If you are three, two should not converse privately to the exclusion of the third, until some other people join you, because that will make him sad.”’

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَهَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ (ح) وَحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِزُهَيْرٍ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا ، وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ : حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا كُنْتُمْ ثَلاَثَةً فَلاَ يَتَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ دُونَ الآخَرِ ، حَتَّى تَخْتَلِطُوا بِالنَّاسِ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنْ يُحْزِنَهُ.

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘If you are three, then two should not converse privately to the exclusion of their companion, for that will make him sad.”’

وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى قَالَ يَحْيَى : أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرُونَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا كُنْتُمْ ثَلاَثَةً ، فَلاَ يَتَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ دُونَ صَاحِبِهِمَا ، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يُحْزِنُهُ.

It was narrated from ‘Aishah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w) that she said: “When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) fell sick, Jibril, would recite Ruqyah for him, saying: ‘In the Name of Allah, may He cure you, from the evil of the envies and from the evil of every evil eye.”’

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ الْمَكِّيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ الْهَادِ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : كَانَ إِذَا اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَقَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ ، قَالَ : بِاسْمِ اللهِ يُبْرِيكَ ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ يَشْفِيكَ ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ ، وَشَرِّ كُلِّ ذِي عَيْنٍ.

It was narrated from Abu Saeed that Jibril came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and said: “O Muhammad, are you sick?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “In the Name of Allah I perform Ruqyah for you, from everything that is harming you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye, may Allah heal you, in the Name of Allah I perform Ruqyah for you.”

حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الصَّوَّافُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ ، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ اشْتَكَيْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ قَالَ : بِاسْمِ اللهِ أَرْقِيكَ ، مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُؤْذِيكَ ، مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ ، أَوْ عَيْنِ حَاسِدٍ ، اللَّهُ يَشْفِيكَ بِاسْمِ اللهِ أَرْقِيكَ.

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the prophet (s.a.w) said: “The evil eye is real, and if anything were to overtake the Divine Decree, it would be the evil eye, so when you are asked to bathe, then do so.”

وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ ، وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ خِرَاشٍ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ : أَخْبَرَنَا ، وقَالَ الآخَرَانِ : حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُوسٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : الْعَيْنُ حَقٌّ ، وَلَوْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ سَابَقَ الْقَدَرَ سَبَقَتْهُ الْعَيْنُ ، وَإِذَا اسْتُغْسِلْتُمْ فَاغْسِلُوا.

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “A spell was cast on Prophet (s.a.w) until he imagined that he had done a thing when he had not done it. One day – or one night – the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said a Dua, then he said: ‘O ‘Aishah, do you know that Allah has responded concerning that which I asked Him about? Two men came to me and one of them sat at my head and the other at my feet. The one who was at my head said to the one who was at my feet said to the one who was at my head: “What is ailing the man?” He said: “He has been bewitched him?” He said: “Who has bewitched him?” He said: “Labid bin Al-A’sam.” He said: “With what?” He said: “With a comb, the hair that is stuck to it, and the pollen of a male date palm.” He said: “Where is it?” He said: “In the well of Dhu Arwan.” She said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) went to it, with some of his companions, then he said: ‘O Aishah, by Allah, its water is like an infusion of henna and its date palms are like the head of devils."' "I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, why don’t you burn it?’ He said: ‘No. Allah had healed me, and I feared that it might bring evil upon the people. But I ordered that it be filled in.”’

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : سَحَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَهُودِيٌّ مِنْ يَهُودِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : لَبِيدُ بْنُ الأَعْصَمِ : قَالَتْ حَتَّى كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ الشَّيْءَ ، وَمَا يَفْعَلُهُ ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، أَوْ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ، دَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ دَعَا ، ثُمَّ دَعَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا عَائِشَةُ أَشَعَرْتِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَفْتَانِي فِيمَا اسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فِيهِ ؟ جَاءَنِي رَجُلاَنِ فَقَعَدَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِي وَالآخَرُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي لِلَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ ، أَوِ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ لِلَّذِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي: مَا وَجَعُ الرَّجُلِ ؟ قَالَ: مَطْبُوبٌ ، قَالَ: مَنْ طَبَّهُ ؟ قَالَ : لَبِيدُ بْنُ الأَعْصَمِ ، قَالَ: فِي أَيِّ شَيْءٍ ؟ قَالَ : فِي مُشْطٍ وَمُشَاطَةٍ ، قَالَ: وَجُفِّ طَلْعَةِ ذَكَرٍ ، قَالَ: فَأَيْنَ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: فِي بِئْرِ ذِي أَرْوَانَ.قَالَتْ: فَأَتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا عَائِشَةُ وَاللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّ مَاءَهَا نُقَاعَةُ الْحِنَّاءِ ، وَلَكَأَنَّ نَخْلَهَا رُؤُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ. قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَفَلاَ أَحْرَقْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ: لاَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ عَافَانِي اللَّهُ، وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُثِيرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ شَرًّا ، فَأَمَرْتُ بِهَا فَدُفِنَتْ.

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was bewitched.” Abu Kuraib quoted the same story, a Hadith like that of Ibn Numair (no. 5703), and he said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) went to the well and looked into it, and there were dates palms around it. She said: ‘I said: “O Messenger of Allah, bring out.” And he did not say: “Why don’t you burn it?” And he (the narrator) did not mention (the words): “I ordered that it be filled in.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : سُحِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , وَسَاقَ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ الْحَدِيثَ بِقِصَّتِهِ ، نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ. وَقَالَ فِيهِ : فَذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْبِئْرِ ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَعَلَيْهَا نَخْلٌ ، وَقَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَأَخْرِجْهُ ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ : أَفَلاَ أَحْرَقْتَهُ ؟ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فَأَمَرْتُ بِهَا فَدُفِنَتْ.
