Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَدِمَ ضِمَادٌ الْأَزْدِيُّ مَكَّةَ فَرَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغِلْمَانٌ يَتْبَعُونَهُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي أُعَالِجُ مِنْ الْجُنُونِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رُدَّ عَلَيَّ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ الشِّعْرَ وَالْعِيَافَة
َ وَالْكَهَانَةَ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ لَقَدْ بَلَغْنَ قَامُوسَ الْبَحْرِ وَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَأَسْلَمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أَسْلَمَ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى قَوْمِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى قَوْمِي قَالَ فَمَرَّتْ سَرِيَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِقَوْمِهِ فَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا إِدَاوَةً أَوْ غَيْرَهَا فَقَالُوا هَذِهِ مِنْ قَوْمِ ضِمَادٍ رُدُّوهَا قَالَ فَرَدُّوهَا

Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us, Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated to us, Dawud ibn Abi Hind narrated to us, from 'Amr ibn Sa'id, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) who said: Dimad al-Azdi arrived in Makkah. He used to perform ruqyah (spiritual healing) from the touch of the jinn. He heard some foolish people of Makkah saying: 'Muhammad is possessed (majnun).' He said: 'Let me see this man; perhaps Allah will heal him at my hands.' He met the Prophet ﷺ, who said: 'Indeed, all praise is due to Allah. We praise Him and seek His help. Whoever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whoever He misguides, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.' Dimad said: 'Repeat these words to me.' the Prophet ﷺ repeated them three times, and Dimad said: 'I have heard the speech of soothsayers, sorcerers, and poets, but I have never heard words like these. They have reached the depths of the sea. Give me your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you upon Islam.' So he pledged allegiance.
