حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، ثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« خَلَقَ اللهُ تَعَالَى الْجِنَّ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْلَاثٍ: ثُلُثٌ لَهُمْ أَجْنِحَةٌ يَطِيرُونَ فِي الْهَوَاءِ، وَثُلُثٌ حَيَّاتٌ وَكِلَابٌ، وَثُلُثٌ يَحُلُّونَ وَيَظْعَنُونَ
