Then Jibrail -as came to him -saww and informed him -saww of that, so he called ‘Ali -asws and sent him -asws to bring that out of the well of Dharwan.’ [6] Spell Protection for the Bewitched: سَهْلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ ابْنِ أرومة [أُورَمَةَ] عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ النُّشْرَةِ لِلْمَسْحُورِ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ أَبِي ع يَرَى بِهِ بَأْساً.
وَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: هَذِهِ الْعُوذَةِ الَّتِي أَمْلَاهَا عَلَيْنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَذْكُرُ أَنَّهَا وِرَاثَةً وَ أَنَّهَا تَبْطُلُ السِّحْرَ تُكْتَبُ عَلَى وَرَقٍ وَ مَا يُعَلَّقُ عَلَى الْمَسْحُورِ Sahl Ibn Muhammad Ibn Sahl narrated from ‘Abd Rabbihi Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim from Ibn Aruma from Ibn Muskan from Al-Halabi, who said: ‘I asked Abu ‘Abd Allah -asws about the (protection from) spells (al-nashra) for the bewitched.
He -asws said: “My father -asws did not see any harm in it.”’ For Muhammad Ibn Muslim who said: ‘Abu ‘Abd Allah -asws dictated this invocation to us saying that it was an inheritance and that it would neutralize spells.
“Write it on a paper and fasten it on to the bewitched person: قالَ مُوسى ما جِئْتُمْ بِهِ السِّحْرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ وَ يُحِقُّ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِماتِهِ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ أَ أَنْتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقاً أَمِ السَّماءُ بَناها رَفَعَ سَمْكَها فَسَوَّاها الْآيَاتِ فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَ بَطَلَ ما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ فَغُلِبُوا هُنالِكَ وَ انْقَلَبُوا صاغِرِينَ وَ أُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ ساجِدِينَ قالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ رَبِّ مُوسى وَ هارُونَ.
Musa said, What you have brought is spells. God will assuredly bring it to naught. God sets not right the work of those who do corruption. God verifies the truth by His words, though sinners be averse (10:81-2). What, are you stronger in constitution or the heaven He built? He lifted up is vault, and levelled it (79:28). So the truth came to pass, and false was proved what they were doing. So they were vanquished there, and they turned about, humbled.
And the sorcerers were cast down, bowing themselves.
