Some of them, upon hearing the patient cry, repeat Allah Most High’s words: “Taste! Indeed, you are the mighty, the noble!” [Al-Dukhān: 49] Others recite this while beating the possessed person.

Some write for the patient the disjointed letters that open certain surahs of the Noble Quran, such as Allah Most High’s words: Kāf Hā Yā Ayn Sād; Hā Mīm Ayn Sīn Qāf; Alif Lām Rā; Alif Lām Mīm; Alif Lām Mīm Sād; Tā Sīn; and Tā Sīn Mīm—and so forth. None knows their interpretation except Allah, and they should not be discussed without knowledge.
Some pour cold water over the patient’s head while reciting: “Then pour over his head the torment of scalding water.” [Al-Dukhān: 48]
Some pour water over the patient while reciting: “Strike the ground with your foot: here is cool water for washing and drinking.” [Surah Sād, verse 42]

This is compound ignorance. Comparable to it is the practice of people who, at the inauguration of projects or when honoring certain men, recite Allah Most High’s words: “And say, ‘Act, for Allah will see your deeds, as will His Messenger and the believers. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the visible, and He will inform you of what you used to do.’” [Al-Tawbah: 105]

Ibn Jarīr al-Tabarī (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “Allah Most High says to His Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace): Say, O Muhammad, to those who admitted their sins to you—those who stayed behind instead of joining you in jihad: Act for Allah in ways that please Him, by obeying Him and fulfilling His obligations. Allah will see your deeds, and so will His Messenger. That is, if you act, Allah will see your deeds, and His Messenger will see them. And the believers will see them in this world. Then you will be returned on the Day of Resurrection to the Knower of the unseen and the visible, who knows what you conceal and what you disclose; nothing concerning your inward or outward affairs is hidden from Him. And He will inform you of what you used to do. That is, He will tell you what you used to do, which of it was sincere and which

بعضهم إذا سمع بكاء المريض ردد قول الله تعالى: ﴿ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْكَرِيمُ﴾ الدخان (٤٩) وبعضهم يقرأها وهو يضرب المصروع * بعضهم يكتب للمريض فواتح السور من القرءان الكريم من الحروف المقطعة كقول الله تعالى: كهيعص. وقوله تعالى: حم عسق. وقوله تعالى: الر. وقوله تعالى: الم. وقوله تعالى: المص وقوله تعالى: طس. وقوله تعالى: طسم. إلى أخر ذلك مما لا يعلم تأويله إلا الله ولا ينبغى الخوض فيه بلا علم. * بعضهم صب فوق رأس مريض الماء البارد وهو يتلو: ﴿ثُمَّ صُبُّوا فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْحَمِيمِ﴾ الدخان (٤٨) * بعضهم يصب على المريض الماء وهو يتلو: ﴿ارْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَ هَذَا مُغْتَسَلٌ بَارِدٌ وَشَرَابٌ﴾ سورة ص الآية (٤٢) وهذا من الجهل المركب ونظير هذا أن الناس يقولون فى افتتاح الأعمال أو عند تكريم بعض الرجال يتلون قول الله تعالى: ﴿وَقُلِ اعْمَلُوا فَسَيَرَى اللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَى عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ﴾ التوبة (١٠٥) والآية تهديد ووعيدد من الله تعالى للمنافقين. وليس فيها أى افتخار بعمل العاملين ولا بتقدير المتميزين ولاالمتقنين البارعين! ! قال ابن جرير الطبرى ﵀: يقول تعالى ذكره لنبيه محمد ﷺ: وَقُلْ يا محمد لهؤلاء الذين اعترفوا لك بذنوبهم من المتخلفين عن الجهاد معك: اعْمَلُوا لله بما يرضيه من طاعته وأداء فرائضه, فَسَيَرى اللهُ عَمَلَكُم وَرَسُولُهُ يقول: فسيرى الله إن عملتم عملكم, ويراه رسوله. وَالمُؤْمِنُونَ في الدنيا وَسَيُرَدّونَ يوم القيامة إلى من يعلم سرائركم وعلانيتكم, فلا يخفى عليه شيء من باطن أموركُمْ وظواهرها. فَيُنَبّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ يقول: فيخبركم بما كنتم تعملون , وما منه خالصا وما
