Allaah (ﷻ) says in the Qur'an:

⁣

*وَلَا تَدْعُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكَ وَلَا يَضُرُّكَ ۖ فَإِن فَعَلْتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذًا مِّنَ الظَّالِمِينَ⁣*

⁣

_“Do not invoke besides Allaah that which neither benefits you nor harms you, for if you did so then you would be wrongdoers.”_

⁣

*[Surat Yunus 10:106]⁣*

‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir (رضي الله عنه) reported: ⁣

_The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) received a group of men and he accepted the pledge of nine of them, while he refrained from one. They said, *“O Messenger of Allaah, you accepted the pledge of nine men and left this one out?”* The Prophet (ﷺ) said,_

_*إِنَّ عَلَيْهِ تَمِيمَةً⁣*_

_*“Verily, there is an amulet upon him.”*_

⁣

_The man took it in his hand and cut it, then the Prophet (ﷺ) accepted his pledge and he said, *“Whoever hangs an amulet around his neck has committed an act of idolatry.”⁣*_

Narrated Abdullaah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه):⁣

_Zaynab, the wife of Abdullaah ibn Mas'ud, told that Abdullaah said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) saying: *“Verily, spells, amulets, and charms are polytheism (Shirk).”⁣'*_

⁣a

_I asked: *“Why do you say this? I swear by Allaah, when my eye was discharging, I used to go to so-and-so, the Jew, who applied a spell to me. When he applied the spell to me, it calmed down.”* Abdullaah said:⁣_ 

_*“That was just the work of the Devil who was picking it with his hand, and when he uttered the spell on it, he desisted. All you need to do is to say as the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) used to say:*_

⁣

_*أَذْهِبِ الْبَاسَ رَبَّ النَّاسِ اشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي لاَ شِفَاءَ إِلاَّ شِفَاؤُكَ شِفَاءً لاَ يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا⁣*_

⁣

_*'Take away the pain, O Lord of mankind, and grant healing, for You are the Healer, and there is no healing but Your healing that leaves no trace of sickness.'*_
