Musnad Abi Ya'la 5239

Translation

✧ I said to Ibn Mas'ud: Did any of you accompany the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of the jinn? He said: None of us accompanied him, but we lost him one night in Makkah and said: He has been assassinated, or snatched away. We spent the worst night a people could spend. When it was the time before dawn - or he said: morning - there he was coming from the direction of Hira'. We said: O Messenger of Allah, and they mentioned to him what they had been through. He said: Indeed, a caller from the jinn came to me, so I went and recited to them. Then he went and showed us their traces and the traces of their fires.

• Dāraquṭnī

  يرويه داود بن أبي هند عن الشعبي عن علقمة عن عبد الله رواه عنه جماعة من الكوفيين والبصريين فأما البصريون فجعلوا قوله وسألوه الزاد إلى آخر الحديث من قول الشعبي مرسلا وأما يحيى بن أبي زائدة وغيره من الكوفيين فأدرجوه في حديث ابن مسعود عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والصحيح قول من فصله فإنه من كلام الشعبي مرسلا

  machine translationDāwūd b. Abī Hind narrates it from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh; a group of Kufans and Basrans narrated it from him. The Basrans made the words "and they asked him for provision" to the end of the hadith the statement of al-Shaʿbī, as a mursal report. As for Yaḥyā b. Abī Zāʾidah and others of the Kufans, they inserted it (idrāj) into the hadith of Ibn Masʿūd from the Prophet ﷺ. The correct view is that of those who separated it, for it is the speech of al-Shaʿbī as a mursal report. Report a problem
