The bewitching done on the Prophet

The Two Sahihs relate that a Jew of Medina — named in the sira as Labid ibn al-Asam — bewitched the Prophet until his condition grew severe ^{1 2}.

Gabriel told the Prophet he was bewitched; the two Suras of Refuge were revealed al-Falaq al-Nas and he was healed, the magic drawn from a well beneath his bedding ¹.

The sorcerer was identified and confessed, and was expelled from Medina ²; the sira relates the story with its details ³.

This is the most famous report of magic in the seerah, and shows that magic could be wrought by humans, not only jinn ⁴.
