Sahih

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَال:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا نَرْقِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَيْفَ تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اعْرِضُوا عَلَيَّ رُقَاكُمْ لَا بَأْسَ بِالرُّقَى مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ شِرْكًا .

In the pre-Islamic period we used to apply spells and we asked: Messenger of Allah! how do you look upon it ? He replied: Submit your spells to me. There is no harm in spells so long as they involve no polytheism.
