سنن أبي داود#3868Sahih

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَقِيلُ بْنُ مَعْقِلٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ وَهْبَ بْنَ مُنَبِّهٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ النُّشْرَةِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ هُوَ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about a charm for one who is possessed (nashrah). He replied: It pertains to the work of the devil

Scholarly Authentication

The label above is the grade most of these scholars gave, each scholar counted once — one dissenting opinion no longer speaks for all of them. If any scholar calls a narration fabricated, that verdict is shown instead, whatever the others say. When they judged only its chain of narrators (“Isnaad”), the label says “Sound chain”. Each scholar's own wording:

Al-AlbaniSahih
Shuaib Al ArnautSahih
Zubair Ali ZaiIsnaad Hasan

Our source also lists this ruling under Muhammad Muhyi Al-Din Abdul Hamid, the editor of the printed edition it was taken from. It is al-Albani's ruling printed again, so it is counted once.
