حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: نَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: نَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ:
كَانَ الْجِنُّ يَقْعُدُونَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَيَسْتَمِعُونَ الْوَحْيَ، فَإِذَا سَمِعُوا الْكَلِمَةَ زَادُوا فِيهَا أَضْعَافًا، فَأَمَّا الْكَلِمَةُ فَتَكُونُ حَقًّا، وَأَمَّا الْبَاقِي فَيَكُونُ بَاطِلًا حَتَّى بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَمُنِعُوا مَقَاعِدَهُمْ، وَلَمْ تَكُنِ النُّجُومُ يُرْمَى بِهَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِبْلِيسُ: مَا هَذَا إِلَّا لِأَمْرٍ قَدْ حَدَثَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَبَعَثَ جُنُودَهُ فَوَجَدُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ. فَقَالَ: هَذَا الْحَدَثُ الَّذِي حَدَثَ فِي الْأَرْضِ

✧ The jinn used to sit in the sky and listen to the revelation. When they heard a word, they added to it many times over. As for the word, it would be true, and as for the rest, it would be false—until the Prophet ﷺ was sent, and they were prevented from their sitting places. The stars were not thrown with before that. Iblis said to them: 'This is only because of something that has happened on earth.' So he sent his troops, and they found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing praying. They informed him, and he said: 'This is the event that has happened on earth.'
