Ibn Abbas reported: Dimad came to Mecca and he belonged to the tribe
of Azd Shanu’a, and he used to protect the person who was under the
influence of charms. He heard the foolish people of Mecca say that
Muhammad was under the spell. Upon this he said, “If I were to come
across this man, Allah might cure him at my hand.” He met him and said,
“Muhammad, I can protect someone who is under the influence of charms,
and Allah cures one whom He so desires at my hand. Do you want this?”
Upon this the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “
All
praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, ask His help; and he whom Allah
guides aright there is none to lead him astray, and he who is led astray
there is none to guide him, and I bear witness that there is no god but
Allah, He is One having no partner with Him, and that Muhammad is His
Servant and Messenger.
To proceed…” Now after
this Dimad said: “Repeat these words of yours before me,” and the
Messenger of Allah repeated these to him three times. And he said, “I
have heard the words of soothsayers, magicians, and poets, but I have
never heard such words as yours, and they reach the depth (of
eloquence). Bring forth your hand so I can take an oath of loyalty to
you and Islam.” So he took an oath of allegiance to him. The Messenger
of Allah said, “
And on behalf of your people.” He said,
“On behalf of my people.” The Messenger of Allah sent an expedition
that passed by his people. The leader of the expedition said to the
army, “Did you find anything from these people?” One of them said, “I
found a basin for water.” So the leader said, “Return it, for indeed
these are the people of Dimad.”

عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ ضِمَادًا قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ
وَكَانَ مِنْ أَزْدِ شَنُوءَةَ وَكَانَ يَرْقِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ
فَسَمِعَ سُفَهَاءَ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا
مَجْنُونٌ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ
يَشْفِيهِ عَلَى يَدَيَّ قَالَ فَلَقِيَهُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي
أَرْقِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَشْفِي عَلَى يَدِي مَنْ
شَاءَ فَهَلْ لَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ
مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ
لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ
وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ قَالَ
فَقَالَ أَعِدْ عَلَيَّ كَلِمَاتِكَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَأَعَادَهُنَّ عَلَيْهِ
رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ
فَقَالَ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ قَوْلَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَقَوْلَ السَّحَرَةِ
وَقَوْلَ الشُّعَرَاءِ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِثْلَ كَلِمَاتِكَ هَؤُلَاءِ
وَلَقَدْ بَلَغْنَ نَاعُوسَ الْبَحْرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ هَاتِ يَدَكَ
أُبَايِعْكَ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ قَالَ فَبَايَعَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَى قَوْمِكَ
قَالَ وَعَلَى قَوْمِي قَالَ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ
عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً فَمَرُّوا بِقَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ
السَّرِيَّةِ لِلْجَيْشِ هَلْ أَصَبْتُمْ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ
رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ أَصَبْتُ مِنْهُمْ مِطْهَرَةً فَقَالَ رُدُّوهَا
فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمُ ضِمَادٍ
