Reason for its Revelation:
During the 7th Hijri, just after the Treaty of Hudaibiyya, the Jewish chiefs said to their fellow Jew, Lubaid bin Asim, that their daughters are incomparable in witchcraft. We want you to cast a magical spell on the Holy Prophet . صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم through Lubaid the help of a Jewish servant, managed to obtain the teeth of a worn-out comb and a few blessed hair of the Holy Prophet. made an effigy from a candle and pierced eleven needles in it. In one chord, he tied eleven knots. Placing all this in the effigy, he pressed it firmly under a stone in the water of the well of Rawaan. The effect of this: thinking of the Holy Prophet, was that he had erred in some worldly matters. This effect remained for a period of six months. Thereafter, Hazrat Jibraeel Ameen came down with these two Surahs, Al-Falaq and An-Naas, in which there are eleven verses about this witchcraft and gave it to the Holy Prophet.
Hazrat Alli was sent to take out all these things, used for the witchcraft. from the bottom of the well. The Holy Prophet recited these verses. At each verse, one knot became loose and in this way all the knots became loose and the Messenger of Allah, recovered from its effects.

The magicians failed against Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) because their magic was in opposition to Prophetic miracle. In fact, the effect of this witchcraft was felt on the thinking of Hazrat Musa, who began to imagine that these sticks and ropes were moving. Says Allah Almighty: "They looked to him as though they were running by the strength of their magic" (S20:V66). The similar effect took place on the thinking of the Holy . صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم Prophet
4. Allah Almighty protects the intellect of the Prophet from the evil effects of witchcraft, so that it does not become an obstacle to the propagation of Religion.
5. One should not throw ones hair and broken combs outside. Throw them in a safe place as many spells of witchcraft can be affected through them.
6. It is permissible to learn the duas to remove the effect of witchcraft, to wear Ta'weez and
7. It means that just as Allah Almighty removes the night through the morning, likewise, He grants cure to illnesses through prayers. It tells us that one offering dua should remember Him with His Attributes, in accordance with his needs.
