أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ قَاسِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ السَّيَّارِيُّ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الْبُوزْنَجَرْدِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الْمُؤْمِنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ حَدِّثْنِي عَنْ قِصَّةِ الشَّيْطَانِ حِينَ أَخَذْتَهُ فَقَالَ
جَعَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى صَدَقَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَجَعَلْتُ الثَّمَرَ فِي غُرْفَةٍ فَوَجَدْتُ فِيهِ نُقْصَانًا فَأَخْبَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هَذَا الشَّيْطَانُ يَأْخُذُهُ» قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ الْغُرْفَةَ فَأَغْلَقْتُ الْبَابَ عَلَيَّ فَجَاءَتْ ظُلْمَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ فَغَشِيتُ الْبَابَ ثُمَّ تَصَوَّرَ فِي صُورَةِ فِيلٍ ثُمَّ تَصَوَّرَ فِي صُورَةٍ أُخْرَى فَدَخَلَ مِنْ شَقِّ الْبَابِ فَشَدَدْتُ إِزَارِي عَلَيَّ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ قَالَ فَوَثَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَضَبَطْتُهُ فَالْتَقَتْ يَدَايَ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ خَلِّ عَنِّي فَإِنِّي كَبِيرٌ ذُو عِيَالٍ كَثِيرٍ وَأَنَا فَقِيرٌ وَأَنَا مِنْ جِنِّ نَصِيبِينَ وَكَانَتْ لَنَا هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُبْعَثَ صَاحِبُكُمْ فَلَمَّا بُعِثَ أُخْرِجْنَا عَنْهَا فَخَلِّ عَنِّي فَلَنْ أَعُودَ إِلَيْكَ فَخَلَّيْتُ عَنْهُ وَجَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَأَخْبَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَا كَانَ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ فَنَادَى مُنَادِيهِ أَيْنَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا فَعَلَ أَسِيرُكَ يَا مُعَاذُ؟» فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَعُودُ» فَعَادَ قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ الْغُرْفَةَ وَأَغْلَقْتُ عَلَيَّ الْبَابَ فَدَخَلَ مِنْ شَقِّ الْبَابِ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ فَصَنَعْتُ بِهِ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى فَقَالَ خَلِّ عَنِّي فَإِنِّي لَنْ أَعُودَ إِلَيْكَ فَقُلْتُ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ تَقُلْ لَا أَعُودُ؟ قَالَ فَإِنِّي لَنْ أَعُودَ وَآيَةُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا يَقْرَأَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ خَاتِمَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فَيَدْخُلَ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا فِي بَيْتِهِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed me over the charity of the Muslims. I put the fruit in a room and found it diminishing, so I informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, "This is the devil taking it." He said, "So I entered the room and locked the door upon myself. Then a great darkness came and covered the door. Then it took the form of an elephant, then it took another form, and it entered through a crack in the door. I tightened my lower garment around myself, and it began to eat from the dates. He said, 'I leaped upon it and seized it, and my hands locked around it. I said, "O enemy of Allah!" It said, "Release me, for I am old with many dependents, and I am poor. I am from the jinn of Nasibin. This village belonged to us before your companion was sent, and when he was sent, we were expelled from it. So release me, and I will never return to you.' So I released him. Then Jibril ﷺ came and informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of what had happened. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the morning prayer, and his caller called out, 'Where is Mu'adh b. Jabal?' So I stood up to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What did your captive do, O Mu'adh?' So I informed him, and he said, 'Indeed, he will return.' So he returned. He said, 'I entered the room and locked the door upon myself, and he entered through a crack in the door and began to eat from the dates. I did to him as I did the first time. He said, "Release me, for I will never return to you." I said, "O enemy of Allah, did you not say I will not return?" He said, "Indeed, I will not return. And the sign of that upon me is that none of you recites the conclusion of al-Baqarah but that one of us enters his house that night.'"
