Hadith 3135
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "During your sleep, Satan knots three knots at the back of the head of each of
you, and he breathes the following words at each knot, 'The night is, long, so keep on sleeping,' If that
person wakes up and celebrates the praises of Allah, then one knot is undone, and when he performs
ablution the second knot is undone, and when he prays, all the knots are undone, and he gets up in the
morning lively and in good spirits, otherwise he gets up in low spirits and lethargic."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 59, Hadith 79

Magic was worked on the Prophet (ﷺ) so that he began to fancy that he was doing a thing which he was
not actually doing. One day he invoked (Allah) for a long period and then said, "I feel that Allah has
inspired me as how to cure myself. Two persons came to me (in my dream) and sat, one by my head
and the other by my feet. One of them asked the other, "What is the ailment of this man?" The other
replied, 'He has been bewitched" The first asked, 'Who has bewitched him?' The other replied, 'Lubaid
bin Al-A'sam.' The first one asked, 'What material has he used?' The other replied, 'A comb, the hair
gathered on it, and the outer skin of the pollen of the male date-palm.' The first asked, 'Where is that?'
The other replied, 'It is in the well of Dharwan.' " So, the Prophet (ﷺ) went out towards the well and then
returned and said to me on his return, "Its date-palms (the date-palms near the well) are like the heads
of the devils." I asked, "Did you take out those things with which the magic was worked?" He said,
"No, for I have been cured by Allah and I am afraid that this action may spread evil amongst the
people." Later on the well was filled up with earth. Sahih al-Bukhari Book 59, Hadith 78
