حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الشَّعْبِيُّ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ
لَقِيَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَصَارَعَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ الْإِنْسِيُّ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْإِنْسِيُّ إِنِّي لَأَرَاكَ ضَئِيلًا شَخِيتًا كَأَنَّ ذُرَيِّعَتَيْكَ ذُرَيِّعَتَا كَلْبٍ فَكَذَاكَ أَنْتُمْ مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ أَمْ أَنْتَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ كَذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي مِنْهُمْ لَضَلِيعٌ وَلَكِنْ عَاوِدْنِي الثَّانِيَةَ فَإِنْ صَرَعْتَنِي عَلَّمْتُكَ شَيْئًا يَنْفَعُكَ فَعَاوَدَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ قال هَاتِ عَلِّمْنِي قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ تَقْرَأُ {اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة 255]؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَقْرَؤُهَا فِي بَيْتٍ إِلَّا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ خَبَجٌ كَخَبَجِ الْحِمَارِ ثُمَّ لَا يَدْخُلُهُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ

✧ A man from the companions of Muhammad ﷺ met a man from the Jinn and wrestled him, and the human threw him. The human said to him: 'I see you as small and feeble, as if your two forearms are the forearms of a dog. Is that how all of you Jinn are, or are you alone like that among them?' He said: 'No, by Allah, I am among them robust, but wrestle me a second time; if you throw me, I will teach you something that will benefit you.' So he wrestled him again and threw him. He said: 'Come, teach me.' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Do you recite {Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence.} [Al-Baqarah 255]?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Indeed, you will not recite it in a house except that Satan leaves it with a sound like the braying of a donkey, and then he will not enter it until morning.'
