\n Muhammad Ibn Jafar al-Bursi narrated from Ahmad Ibn Yahya al-Armani from Muhammad Ibn Sayyar from Muhammad Ibn al-Fadl Ibn \u2018Umar from \n Abu \u2018Abd Allah -asws said: \u2018Amir-ul-Momineen -asws said that Jibrail -as came to the Prophet -saw and said: \u201cO Muhammad -saww : \u201cSuch-and-such a Jew has bewitched you -saww and put a spell in the well of Banu so-and-so.

Therefore, send to it the most trustworthy of people in your -saww opinion and the most important of them before you -saww and the equal of you -saww , so that he -asws may bring you -saww the spell.

He -asws (Abu \u2018Abd Allah -asws ) said: \u2018The Prophet -saww sent \u2018Ali -asws Ibn Abu Talib -asws and said: \u201cGo to the well of Dharwan, for in it is a spell with which the Jew Labid Ibn A\u2019sam has bewitched me, and bring it to me -saww .\u201d \n \u2018Ali -asws said: \u201cI set out at the request of Rasool Allah -saww . I descended into it, and there was the spring water as if it were water in a cistern because of the spell.

I searched for it hurriedly until I came to the bottom of the well but I did not obtain it. Those who were with me said: \u2018There is nothing in it.\u2019 So I went up. But then I -asws said: \u2018No, by Allah -azwj , he -saww did not lie and nor do I -asws , and I -asws am not with him as you are,\u2019 meaning the Rasool Allah -saww . I -asws searched for it again carefully, and brought it out, in truth.

\n \u201cI -asws went to the Prophet -saww and he -saww said: \u2018Open it.\u2019 I opened it and there was, in truth, a piece of a palm branch inside it on which were tied twenty-one knots. Jibrail -as had brought down that day to the Prophet -saww the two suras of taking refuge (al-Falaq 113) and al-Nas (114).

The Prophet -saww said: \u2018O Ali -asws , then recite over the string.\u2019 Whenever Amir-ul-Momineen -asws recite it, a knot opened, until he -asws finished with all of them and Allah -azwj Removed the spell from His -azwj Prophet -saww and restored him -saww to health.
