Al-Falaq and An-Nas (113 &114)
وَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ أَ هُمَا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ
And from Abu Abdullah Al Sadiq-asws, he-asws was asked about Al Mawazateyn, ‘Are these two (Chapters 113 & 114) from the Quran?’
فَقَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع نَعَمْ هُمَا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ
Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Yes, these two are from the Quran’.
فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنَّهُمَا لَيْسَتَا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَ لَا فِي مُصْحَفِهِ
The man said, ‘These two aren’t from the Quran in the reading of Ibn Masoud nor in his (version of the) Quran!’
فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَخْطَأَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَوْ قَالَ كَذَبَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ هُمَا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Ibn Masoud had mistaken!’ Or said: ‘Ibn Masoud lied! These two are from the Quran’.
قَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَقْرَأُ بِهِمَا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي الْمَكْتُوبَةِ
The man said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! Can I read this in the Prescribed (Salat)?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ هَلْ تَرَى مَا مَعْنَى الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ فِي أَيِّ شَيْءٍ نَزَلَتَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص سَحَرَهُ لَبِيدُ بْنُ أَعْصَمَ الْيَهُودِيُّ
He-asws said: ‘Yes, and do you see what is the meaning of Al Mawazateyn, and regarding which thing these two were Revealed? Rasool-Allah-saww had been bewitched by Labeed Bin Aasim the Jew’.
فَقَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ مَا كَادَ أَوْ عَسَى أَنْ يَبْلُغَ مِنْ سِحْرِهِ
Abu Baseer said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘And what was perhaps the extent of his sorcery?’
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصَّادِقُ بَلَى كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَرَى أَنَّهُ يُجَامِعُ وَ لَيْسَ يُجَامِعُ وَ كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْبَابَ وَ لَا يُبْصِرُهُ حَتَّى يَلْمَسَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَ السِّحْرُ حَقٌّ وَ مَا يُسَلَّطُ السِّحْرُ إِلَّا عَلَى الْعَيْنِ وَ الْفَرْجِ
Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Yes. The Prophet-saww saw that he-saww intended to sleep with his-saww wife, and he-saww couldn’t, and he-saww wanted the door but could not see it until he-saww would touch it with his-saww hand, and the sorcery is true, and the sorcery does not overcome except upon the eye and the private part.
فَأَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَدَعَا عَلِيّاً ع وَ بَعَثَهُ لِيَسْتَخْرِجَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ بِئْرِ [أَرْوَانَ] أزوان وَ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ
Jibraeel-as came to him-saww and informed him-saww of that. He-saww called Ali-asws and sent him-asws to extract that from a well of Azwan – and he-asws mentioned the Hadeeth with its length up to its end.[1]
