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 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."
