We used to perform incantations during the days of ignorance, so we asked, "Messenger of Allah, what do you think of that?"He replied, "Present your incantations to me. There is no harm in incantations as long as they contain no polytheism."
كنا نرقي في الجاهلية فقلنا: يا رسول الله كيف ترى في ذلك؟ فقال: اعرضوا علي رقاكم، لا بأس بالرقى ما لم يكن فيه شرك.
Muslim narrated it in the Book of Salam (2200), from Abu Tahir (he is Ahmad bin Amr bin Abdullah bin Amr bin Sarh), Ibn Wahb informed us, Muawiya bin Salih informed me, from Abdul-Rahman bin Jubayr, from his father, from Awf bin Malik Ashjai, and he mentioned it.
