Ayesha fell ill, and her sickness lingered. A man came to Medina who practiced medicine, so her nephews went to consult him about her ailment. He said, "By Allah, you are describing the symptoms of a bewitched woman. This is a woman under a spell, cast on her by a slave girl of hers."Ayesha asked the girl, who said, "Yes, I wanted you to die so I would be set free."Ayesha said, and the girl had been promised freedom upon Ayesha's death, "Sell her to the harshest of the Arabs in ownership, and use her price to buy another like her."
حدثنا سفيان حدثنا يحيى عن ابن أخي عمرة ولا أدري هذا أو غيره
اشتكت عائشة فطال شكواها فقدم إنسان المدينة يتطبب فذهب بنو أخيها يسألونه عن وجعها فقال والله إنكم تنعتون نعت امرأة مطبوبة قال هذه امرأة مسحورة سحرتها جارية لها قالت نعم أردت أن تموتي فأعتق قال وكانت مدبرة قالت بيعوها في أشد العرب ملكة واجعلوا ثمنها في مثلها
