حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يُوسُفَ ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ثنا حَرْبُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَضْرَمِيُّ بْنُ لَاحِقٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ
أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ جَرِينُ تَمْرٍ فَكَانَ يَجِدُهُ يَنْقُصُ فَحَرَسَهُ لَيْلَةً فَإِذَا هُوَ بِمِثْلِ الْغُلَامِ الْمُحْتَلِمِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ فَقَالَ أَجِنِّيٌّ أَمْ إِنْسِيٌّ؟ فَقَالَ بَلْ جِنِّيٌّ فَقَالَ أَرِنِي يَدَكَ فَأَرَاهُ فَإِذَا يَدُ كَلْبٍ وَشَعْرُ كَلْبٍ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا خَلْقُ الْجِنِّ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنُّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي قَالَ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ قَالَ أُنْبِئْنَا أَنَّكَ تُحِبُّ الصَّدَقَةَ فَجِئْنَا نُصِيبُ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ قَالَ مَا يُجِيرُنَا مِنْكُمْ؟ قَالَ تَقْرَأُ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ {اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة 255] قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِذَا قَرَأْتَهَا غُدْوَةً أُجِرْتَ مِنَّا حَتَّى تُمْسِيَ وَإِذَا قَرَأْتَهَا حِينَ تُمْسِي أُجِرْتَ مِنَّا حَتَّى تُصْبِحَ قَالَ أُبَيٌّ فَغَدَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «صَدَقَ الْخَبِيثُ»

✧ 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.'"
