English Translation
Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A man from Azd Shanu'ah called Dimam was in Yemen and used to treat ailments from spirits. He came to Makkah and heard them calling Muhammad (peace be upon him) a sorcerer, a soothsayer, and a madman. He said: "Perhaps if I came to this man, Allah would cure him at my hands." He met him and said: "O Muhammad, indeed Allah cures at my hands. I treat these ailments from spirits." He said: "Praise be 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 and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger." He said: "Repeat that for me." He repeated it three times. He said: "I have heard the words of soothsayers, sorcerers, and poets, but I have never heard the like of these words. They have reached the depths of the sea. Extend your hand that I may pledge allegiance to you upon Islam." He extended his hand and pledged allegiance upon Islam, and [pledged] on behalf of his people.
