Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Why did Labid ibn al-'A'sam cast a spell on the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and how did he do it?
Answer:
Yes, Labid ibn al-'A'sam was a Jew, and the Jews killed the prophets. They kill the prophets. They tried to kill the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). They tried to kill Jesus (peace be upon him), and Allah raised him up from among them, and they tried to kill Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
This is their trade, and this is the profession of the Jews: that they kill the prophets, or[Al-Ma'idah 5:70] [Al-Baqarah 2:91] This is the affair of the Jews. So what Labid ibn al-'A'sam did followed the custom of the Jews with the prophets, may Allah curse them. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was indeed bewitched, and the sorcery had an effect on him. But, praise be to Allah, it did not affect his mind, nor did it affect his thought, nor did it affect his prophethood (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, it affected his body. The prophets are from among the children of Adam, and illnesses may strike their bodies, but Allah healed him. He was healed through ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). When Jibril (peace be upon him) performed the ruqyah on him, Allah healed him, and the sorcery that was in him went away. Yes.

Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a party [of messengers] they denied, and another party they killed.
كُلَّمَا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا لَا تَهْوَىٰ أَنفُسُهُمْ فَرِيقًا كَذَّبُوا وَفَرِيقًا يَقْتُلُونَSay, "Then why did you kill the prophets of Allah before, if you are [indeed] believers?"
قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنبِيَاءَ اللَّهِ مِن قَبْلُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
