أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ النَّاجِي عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَوَجَدَ أَثَرَ كَفٍّ
كَأَنَّهُ قَدْ أُخِذَ مِنْهُ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَأْخُذَهُ؟ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ سَخَّرَكَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقُلْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِهِ قَائِمٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فَأَخَذْتُهُ لِأَذْهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَخَذْتُهُ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتٍ فُقَرَاءَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَلَنْ أَعُودَ قَالَ فَعَادَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَأْخُذَهُ؟» فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «قُلْ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ سَخَّرَكَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ» فَقُلْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِهِ فَأَرَدْتُ لِأَذْهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَاهَدَنِي أَنْ لَا يَعُودَ فَتَرَكْتُهُ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَأْخُذَهُ؟ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَكَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِهِ قُلْتُ عَاهَدْتَنِي فَكَذَبْتَ وَعُدْتَ لَأَذْهَبَنَّ بِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ خَلِّ عَنِّي أُعَلِّمْكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ لَمْ يَقْرَبْكَ ذَكَرٌ وَلَا أُنْثَى مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَقُلْتُ وَمَا هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتُ؟ قَالَ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ اقْرَأْهَا عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ وَمَسَاءٍ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَخَلَّيْتُ عَنْهُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَوَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ كَذَلِكَ؟»

✧ It was as if it had been taken from him, so he mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, “Do you want to seize him? Say: Glory be to Him who subjected you to Muhammad ﷺ.” Abu Hurayrah said: I said it, and there he was standing before me. I seized him to take him to the Prophet ﷺ, but he said, “I only took it for a poor household of the jinn, and I will not return.” He said: But he returned, so I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, “Do you want to seize him?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Say: Glory be to Him who subjected you to Muhammad ﷺ.” I said it, and there he was. I wanted to take him to the Prophet ﷺ, but he made a covenant with me that he would not return, so I left him. Then he returned again, so I mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, “Do you want to seize him?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Say: Glory be to the One who subjected you to Muhammad ﷺ.” I said it, and there he was. I said, “You made a covenant with me and you lied and returned. I will take you to the Prophet ﷺ.” He said, “Let me go and I will teach you words that, if you say them, no male or female jinn will come near you.” I said, “What are these words?” He said, “Ayat al-Kursi; recite it every morning and evening.” Abu Hurayrah said: So I let him go and mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, “Did you not know that he is like that?”
