(22) باب لاَ بَأْسَ بِالرُّقَى مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ شِرْكٌ
'Auf b. Malik Ashja'i reported We practised incantation in the pre-Islamic days and we said:
Allah's Messenger. what is your opinion about it? He said: Let me know your incantation and said: There is no harm in the incantation which does not smack of polytheism. (JA)
