Abstract
The article describes a number of the Prophet Muhammad’s notions about the circumstances of interaction with supernatural beings reconstructed on the basis of the Hadith material. These notions are refl ected in such actions of the Prophet as wrapping up during the sending down of revelations, wearing clothes inside out during the performance of the ritual, refusal of certain types of food, etc. Such practices largely refl ect the ancient Arabian ideas about the behavior of a person being in contact with the transcendent. They can also be compared with similar rituals related to other cultures.
