O! You who dis-believe there is proof he was possessed by Satan. Canadian Imam Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips, who completed a PhD on Islamic exorcism at the University of Edinburgh, gave a lecture on deterring authentic demonic possession and how to attain a credible exorcism. During this talk, the Imam revealed that the Prophet Mohammad PBUH had been successfully freed from a demonic spell cast by a Jewish man in a far away village. Mohammad bewitched by Satan spell
So destroy the charm. That’s what the Prophet PBUH did when he came under the influence, Ginn [spirits] influence of magic which affected him physically. So this is a form of the touch of Shatan, satanic touch, demonic touch, which didn’t affect his Revelation. Revelation which came to him but affects some of his own perception, thinking that he did things which he didn’t do, thinking that he didn’t do things which he had done, seeing things which are far away as if they’re close, things which are close as if they’re far away. This affected him in this way. And Allah sent angels to him and his dream and informed him that it was the work of a particular individual in Medina, a Jewish magician there by the name of Lubaid Ben Al-Aasim, who had prepared this charm and put it in a well and so the Prophet PBUH told Ali Bin Tali to go find it. Dig it up. Come back. Take it apart. And the two last verses of the Quran, two last chapters, were revealed and they were read for breaking spell.
