'Auf b. Malik Ashja'i reported We practised incantation in the pre-Islamic days and we said:
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيِّ ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَرْقِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ " اعْرِضُوا عَلَىَّ رُقَاكُمْ لاَ بَأْسَ بِالرُّقَى مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ شِرْكٌ " .
Allah's Messenger, what is your opinion about it? He said: Let me know your invocation and said: There is no harm in the invocation as long as there is no polytheism in it.
