حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ وَابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ الْمَعْنَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ: هَلْ صَحِبَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا صَحِبَهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ، وَلَكِنَّا قَدْ فَقَدْنَاهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، فَقُلْنَا: اغْتِيلَ ؟ اسْتُطِيرَ ؟ مَا فَعَلَ. قَالَ: فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي وَجْهِ الصُّبْحِ ( أَوْ قَالَ: فِي السَّحَرِ ) إِذَا نَحْنُ بِهِ يَجِيءُ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِرَاءٍ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَذَكَرُوا الَّذِي كَانُوا فِيهِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي دَاعِي الْجِنِّ فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ. قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ بِنَا فَأَرَانِي آثَارَهُمْ وَآثَارَ نِيرَانِهِمْ. قَالَ: وَقَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ: سَأَلُوهُ الزَّادَ. قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ: قَالَ عَامِرٌ: فَسَأَلُوهُ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ الزَّادَ، وَكَانُوا مِنْ جِنِّ الْجَزِيرَةِ فَقَالَ: كُلُّ عَظْمٍ ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقَعُ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ أَوْفَرَ مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ لَحْمًا، وَكُلُّ بَعْرَةٍ ( أَوْ رَوْثَةٍ ) عَلَفًا لِدَوَابِّكُمْ [قَالَ ]. فَلَا تَسْتَنْجُوا بِهِمَا؛ فَإِنَّهُمَا زَادُ إِخْوَانِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ.

that 'Alqamah said: "I said to Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him: 'Did any of you accompany the Prophet ﷺ on the Night of the Jinn?' He said: 'None of us accompanied him. One night, while he was in Makkah, we could not find him. We said: "He has been murdered [or] snatched, what has happened to him?" So we spent the worst night a people could spend until the morning' or 'it was about dawn when we saw him coming from the direction of Hira.' He said: 'They told him about what they had went through.'" "So he ﷺ said: 'Someone from the Jinn came to invite me, so I went to them to recite for them.' He said: "So we went and saw their tracks and the traces of their camp fire.'" Ash-Sha'bi said: "They asked him about their provisions - and they were Jinns of Mesopotamia - so he said: 'Every bone upon which Allah's name has not been mentioned, that falls into your hands, and every dropping of dung is fodder for your beasts.'" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not perform Istinja with them for indeed they are provisions for your brothers among the Jinns." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3258)

كأن رواية إسماعيل أصح من رواية حفص بن غياث
machine translationThe narration of Ismāʿīl seems more sound (aṣaḥḥ) than the narration of Ḥafṣ b. Ghiyāth.
in مسند أحمد, p. 4212 - 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.
