English Translation
Abu Salih ibn Abi Tahir al-'Anbari informed us... from Dawud ibn Abi Hind, from 'Amr ibn Sa'id, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn 'Abbas that Dimad came to Makkah - and he was from Azd Shanu'ah, and he used to treat possession by jinn. He heard some foolish people of Makkah saying: 'Muhammad is possessed.' He said: 'If only I could see this man, perhaps Allah would heal him at my hands.' He met him and said: 'O Muhammad, I treat possession, and Allah heals through my hands whomever He wills. Would you like me to treat you?' The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'All praise belongs to Allah; we praise Him and seek His help. Whomever Allah guides, none can misguide; and whomever He leads astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. As for what follows...' Dimad said: 'Repeat these words of yours to me.' So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) repeated them three times. He said: 'I have heard the words of soothsayers, sorcerers, and poets, but I have never heard anything like these words. They have reached the depths of the sea. Give me your hand so I may pledge allegiance to you on Islam.' So he pledged allegiance. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'And on behalf of your people?' He said: 'And on behalf of my people.'
