(magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed<br />
was that for which they sold their own selves, if they but knew}.<br />
Narrated Ibn Jarir: I was told by Muhammad Ibn`Abdel A`la As-San`ani that<br />
he was told by Al-Mu`tamir Ibn Sulaiman who said: I heard ` Imran Ibn Jarir<br />
who narrated from Abu Majliz as saying: Sulaiman (Peace be upon him) took<br />
from every living creature a covenant. So when any person gets afflicted with<br />
anything, he (Sulaiman) asks Allah with that covenant and the person recovers.<br />
Unfortunately, the people added to this sorcery and magic and said: this is what<br />
Sulaiman Ibn Dawud used to act upon. <strong>The</strong>reupon, Allah the Almighty revealed<br />
His Saying: {<strong>The</strong>y followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely<br />
of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did lot<br />
disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic<br />
and such things that came town at Babylon to the two angels, Harut<br />
and Marut but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such<br />
things) till they had said, "We are<br />
only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)." And<br />
from these (angels) people earn that by which they cause separation<br />
between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone<br />
except by Allah's Leave. And they learn that which harms them and<br />
profits them not. And indeed they knew that the buyers of it (magic)<br />
would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for<br />
which they sold their own selves, if they but knew}.<br />
Narrated Ibn Abu Hatim: I was told by `Isam Ibn Rawwad after Adam after<br />
Al-Mas`udi after Ziyad the freed slave of Ibn Mus` ab after Al-Hasan pertaining<br />
to Allah's Statement: {<strong>The</strong>y followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out<br />
(falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaiman (Solomon)}, as saying:<br />
one-third of poetry, one-third of sorcery (magic), and one-third of soothsaying.<br />
And, he said: I was told by AI-Hasan Ibn Ahmed after Ibrahim Ibn `Abdullah Ibn<br />
Bshshar Al-Wasiti after Surur Ibn Al-Mughirah after `Abbad Ibn Mansur after Al-<br />
Hasan pertaining to Allah's Statement: {<strong>The</strong>y followed what the Shayatin<br />
(devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaiman<br />
(Solomon)}, as saying: they were the Jews who followed what they gave out in<br />
the lifetime of Sulaiman (Peace be upon him). Prior to that the people knew<br />
sorcery, but it was only followed in the lifetime of Sulaiman.<br />
That was a summary of the sayings and narrations of the godly earlier<br />
scholars concerning this and it is obvious that there is no clear contradiction<br />
between any of them, may Allah guide us all to the Right and Straight Path of<br />
His!<br />
Allah's Statement: {<strong>The</strong>y followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave<br />
out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaiman (Solomon)}, i.e.<br />
the Jews who were given an earlier Divine Scripture -gave their backs to it and<br />
rejected Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and followed {what the<br />
