✧ He had a storehouse for dates and noticed it diminishing. He guarded it one night and saw a being like a young boy who had reached puberty. He greeted him and he returned the greeting. He said, "Are you a jinni or a human?" He said, "Rather, a jinni." He said, "Show me your hand." So he showed him, and it was the hand of a dog with the hair of a dog. He said, "Thus is the creation of the jinn." He said, "The jinn know that there is no man among them stronger than me." He said, "What brought you?" He said, "We were informed that you love charity, so we came to take some of your food." He said, "What protects us from you?" He said, "You recite Ayat al-Kursi from Surah al-Baqarah: 'Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence.'" He said, "Yes." He said, "If you recite it in the morning, you are protected from us until evening, and if you recite it in the evening, you are protected from us until morning." Ubayy said, "So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the morning and informed him of that, and he said, 'The wicked one spoke the truth.'"
