Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ سُحِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ الْحَدِيثَ بِقِصَّتِهِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ وَقَالَ فِيهِ فَذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى الْبِئْرِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَعَلَيْهَا نَخْلٌ ‏.‏ وَقَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَخْرِجْهُ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ أَفَلاَ أَحْرَقْتَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ‏ "‏ فَأَمَرْتُ بِهَا فَدُفِنَتْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

English Translation

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was affected with a spell, the rest of the hadith is the same but with this variation of wording: " Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went to the well and looked towards it and there were trees of date-palm near it. I ('A'isha) said: I asked Allah'& Messenger (ﷺ) to bring it out, and 1 did not say: Why did not you burn it?" And there is no mention of these words:" I commanded (to bury them and they buried."
