# Did someone really do magic on the Prophet? *The three Quls do not mention the evil eye; the report of magic on the Prophet* - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/yd3ehw0vtls/s/2/ - Date: 2018-02-13 · Kind: lesson · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: The Evil Eye has no reality in Islam - Mufti Abu Layth al-Maliki (6:50–10:34) - Status: general teaching - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd3ehW0VTls&t=410s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/yd3ehw0vtls/ **Topics:** Magic, the evil eye and superstition; Reports that disrespect the Prophet; Reflections on short surahs **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** No: he calls the report of magic on the Prophet falsely attributed and an affront to his honour, and says the Quls were revealed years earlier in Makkah. **Checked position (checked by two independent reviews, not by the channel):** Mufti Abu Layth says the incident of magic being done on the Prophet in Madinah is falsely attributed. **Evidence, his words at 6:50:** “this a falsely attributed incident that the Prophet had magic turn onto him this is not only a blast blasphemous it is dishonorable” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd3ehW0VTls&t=410s) ## Longer summary Mufti Abu Layth says the three Quls say nothing about the evil eye and simply seek refuge in God from harmful things, and that al-Falaq and al-Nas were revealed in Makkah long before the Madinan incident in which the Prophet is said to have had magic done on him. He calls that incident falsely attributed and an affront to the Prophet's honour, describing reports that he became forgetful, made up statements and, in some narrations, impotent, and that he forgot the verses for half a year until angels reminded him. He says these narrations were misunderstood, manufactured by those who wanted to attack the Prophet's honour, or innocently relayed. He explains that seeking refuge from nightfall, the envier and those who blow on knots is seeking refuge from the harms associated with them, such as the social ramifications of superstition. He refers questions on Harut and Marut to his lecture on magic. ## Sources and names cited - Quran 112 (Surat al-Ikhlas): https://quran.com/112 - Quran 113:1-5 (Surat al-Falaq): https://quran.com/113 - Quran 114 (Surat al-Nas): https://quran.com/114 - Quran 113:4 (from the evil of those who blow on knots): https://quran.com/113/4 - al-mu'awwidhatayn (the two surahs of seeking refuge) - report: magic was done on the prophet and he became impotent - Quran 2:102 (Harut and Marut): https://quran.com/2/102 - sihr (magic) ## Transcript (machine tier, 6:50–10:34) [6:10] impacting and causing harm through black magic now about that I've got a very lengthy video on YouTube that I'd code deliver with Chef Akram Nedley and you can watch that it's on Facebook okay now right now can someone do it stay hard on behalf of someone else's on someone else's behalf how do self-proclaimed Islamic scholars do it live on shows this is Tijara is absurd okay it's okay before let me come to a stakeout I'll just finish up on the three codes look the three codes [6:50] like cool Aloha had or Klaus available fill up or pull out a bit up in ass do not mention anything about the evil eye in them they've got no such thing to do with evil eye and they're simply just seeking refuge in God from harmful things you one could use them about the magic but the truth is that that they were revealed in Makkah long before the incident of Medina this a falsely attributed incident that the Prophet had magic turn onto him this is not only a blast blasphemous it is dishonorable it is an affront it is offensive to the honor of the beloved beloved Messenger of God [7:30] Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi assalam to say he became clumsy and and and forgetful and don't know what he was doing and made-up statements and forged memories and according to certain narrations became sexually impotent these kind of things are an affront they are in soul I find them immensely derogatory to the honor of the prophet muhammad salallahu alaihe salam and they they are they are narrations that have been either misunderstood or manufactured by people who wanted to attack the honour of the [8:07] Prophet or they've been innocently kind of relayed by others so that is so that's as far as them so to say the Prophet in Medina had magic done on him and the angels came and told him about cool available falak which by the way the Prophet himself knew because it was revealed so many years ago almost 10 years ago in Makkah but and he knew these verses all the time because he used to read them all the time but he forgot about them and the angels came and reminded him and he was so he was so forgetful and this lasted for half a year the Prophet was so forgetful I find [8:46] that so offensive as a Muslim I I find it shocking that Muslims pride themselves on these beliefs that is disappointing people disappointing but anyway coming back to the blowing or knots that is mentioned I do explain that mean share enough authority filler cut is to do with other things that are associated with that so all the things in so allowed bearable Falak or to do with generally associations like Allah says I mean surely a second in our cup I seek refuge from nightfall as it descends but nightfall is an evil why [9:26] are you seeking refuge in nightfall because it's associated with other harms I seek refuge Manhasset in audacity from the envious person as he has NV y NV is an emotion that doesn't harm you but what's associated with the envy in terms of actions I seek refuge from the women glowing or not why the women drawing or not doesn't make but from the social ramifications of superstitious beliefs and losing faith in tawheed in the true oneness of God I seek refuge in that so this was to do with associations and [10:02] consequences right so somebody says you are not a Salafi scholar people if you want to be safe right so listen those of you asking about Haru and Maru nah not Harun Hal Ruth and model please watch my lengthy lecture I've gone into much detail it is on Facebook you can search it it's on magic it's called debunking myths okay so if you look that up ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment Yd3ehW0VTls/s/2. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/yd3ehw0vtls/s/2/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
