باب مَا جَاءَ فِي الرُّقَى

English narration

Narrated by عوف بن مالك الأشجعي

Awf bin Malik said: In the pre-Islamic period we used to apply spells and we asked: Messenger of Allah! how do you look upon it ? He replied: Submit your spells to me. There is no harm in spells so long as they involve no polytheism.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَال : كُنَّا نَرْقِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَقُلْنَا : "

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : اعْرِضُوا عَلَيَّ رُقَاكُمْ لَا بَأْسَ بِالرُّقَى مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ شِرْكًا
