Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي عَمْرَةَ وَلَا أَدْرِي هَذَا أَوْ غَيْرَهُ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ قَالَتْ اشْتَكَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَطَالَ شَكْوَاهَا فَقَدِمَ إِنْسَانٌ الْمَدِينَةَ يَتَطَبَّبُ فَذَهَبَ بَنُو أَخِيهَا يَسْأَلُونَهُ عَنْ وَجَعِهَا فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّكُمْ تَنْعَتُونَ نَعْتَ امْرَأَةٍ مَطْبُوبَةٍ قَالَ هَذِهِ امْرَأَةٌ مَسْحُورَةٌ سَحَرَتْهَا جَارِيَةٌ لَهَا قَالَتْ نَعَمْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَمُوتِي فَأُعْتَقَ قَالَ وَكَانَتْ مُدَبَّرَةً قَالَتْ بِيعُوهَا فِي أَشَدِّ الْعَرَبِ مَلَكَةً وَاجْعَلُوا ثَمَنَهَا فِي مِثْلِهَا.
English Translation
Amra said: "Aisha fell ill and her illness lasted long. A man who practiced medicine came to Madinah, and her nephews went to ask him about her ailment. He said: 'By Allah, you are describing the symptoms of a woman who has been bewitched.' He said: 'This woman has been bewitched by a slave girl of hers.' She (the slave girl) said: 'Yes, I wanted you to die so that I would be freed.' She was a mudbbarah (a slave promised freedom upon the death of her owner). Aisha said: 'Sell her to the harshest of Arab masters, and use her price to buy another one like her.'"
