Ibn Jazaar narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to a woman who had tied an amulet around her neck. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) pulled it and cut it off. Then he said: The family of Abdullah has no need of anything that associates partners with Allah, as long as there is no evidence revealed about it. Then he mentioned: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, incantations, amulets, and tiwala are shirk (associating partners with Allah)." The people said: O Abu Abdur Rahman, we know about incantations and amulets, but what is this word tiwala? He said: It is something women do to gain the love of their husbands.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade incantations. My uncle used to recite incantations for scorpion stings. He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever among you can benefit his brother in any way, he should do so.
