Chapter 29 · Medicine (Kitab Al-Tibb)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 .

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.
