Then he did not cease reciting the Verses, and (every time) the Prophet -saww recited, a knot opened up until he -saww had recited eleven Verses (times), and eleven knots opened up. وجلس النبي ودخل أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام فأخبره بما جاء به [ ر: أخبره ] جبرئيل [ به. ر ] وقال [ له.

ب ]: انطلق فأتني بالسحر And the Prophet -saww sat up, and Amir Al-Momineen -asws entered, so he -saww informed him ‑asws of what news Jibraeel -as had come with, and said to him -asws : ‘Go, and come to me ‑saww with the sorcery’. فخرج علي فجاء به فأمر به رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فنقض ثم تفل [ أ: ثقل ] عليه وأرسل إلى لبيد بن أعصم وأم عبد الله اليهودية فقال: ما دعاكم إلى ما صنعتم ؟ So Ali -asws went out and came with what Rasool-Allah -saww had instructed with.

Then he -saww broke it, and spat on it, and sent for Labeed Bin Aasim and Umm Abdullah the Jewess. He -saww said: ‘What called you to what you did?’ ثم دعا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم على لبيد وقال: لا أخرجك الله من الدنيا سالما Then Rasool-Allah -saww supplicated against Labeed and said: ‘May Allah -azwj not Exit you from the world safely’.

قال: وكان موسرا كثير المال فمر به غلام يسعى في أذنه قرط قيمته دينار فجاذبه فخرم أذن الصبي فأخذ وقطعت يده فمات من وقته [ ب، ر: وقتها ] He -asws said: ‘And he used to be affluent, with a lot of wealth. Then a boy passed by him wearing a ring in his ear valued at a Dinar. So it lured him, and he cut the ear of the boy for it, so the boy grabbed him and cut his hand, and he died on the spot’’.

[22] Note of Al-Tabarsy – ثم قال الطبرسي: و هذا لا يجوز لأن من وصف بأنه مسحور، فكأنه قد خبل عقله، و قد أبى الله سبحانه ذلك في قوله: وَ قالَ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنْ تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَسْحُوراً انْظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوا لَكَ الْأَمْثالَ فَضَلُّوا Then Al-Tabarsy said – ‘And this is not allowed, because one described to be under a spell, so it is as if his intellect has been deranged, and Allah -azwj has Refused that in His -azwj Words: And the unjust ones say, ‘You are only following a man bewitched!’ [25:8] Look how they are striking the examples for you.

They have strayed [25:9] . و لكن يمكن أن يكون اليهودي أو بناته على ما روي، اجتهدوا في ذلك فلم يقدروا عليه، و أطلع الله نبيه (صلى الله عليه و آله) على ما فعلوه من التمويه حتى استخرج But, it is possible that the Jew or his daughter were upon what is reported.
