أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَضْرَمِيُّ بْنُ لَاحِقٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ
كَانَ لِجَدِّي جُرْنٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَجَعَلَ يَجِدُهُ يَنْقُصُ فَحَرَسَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِدَابَّةٍ شِبْهُ الْغُلَامِ الْمُحْتَلِمِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتَ أَجِنٌّ أَمْ إِنْسٌ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلْ جِنٌّ قَالَ أَعْطِنِي يَدَكَ فَإِذَا يَدُ كَلْبٍ وَشَعْرُ كَلْبٍ قَالَ هَكَذَا خَلْقُ الْجِنِّ قَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ الْجِنَّ مَا فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي قَالَ مَا شَأْنُكَ؟ قَالَ أُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّكَ رَجُلٌ تُحِبُّ الصَّدَقَةَ فَأَحْبَبْنَا أَنْ نُصِيبَ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ قَالَ مَا يُجِيرُنَا مِنْكُمْ؟ قَالَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ {اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ} [البقرة 255] إِذَا قُلْتَهَا حِينَ تُصْبِحُ أُجِرْتَ مِنَّا إِلَى أَنْ تُمْسِيَ وَإِذَا قُلْتَهَا حِينَ تُمْسِي أُجِرْتَ مِنَّا إِلَى أَنْ تُصْبِحَ فَغَدَا أُبَيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ خَبَرَهُ قَالَ «صَدَقَ الْخَبِيثُ» [353] 10732 أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ بْنِ لَاحِقٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ كَانَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ جَدُّ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ كَانَ لِأَبِي جُرْنٌ مِنْ طَعَامٍ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ

✧ "My grandfather had a jar of dates, and he noticed that it was decreasing. So he guarded it one night, and there he saw a creature resembling a young boy. He greeted it, and it returned the greeting. He asked, 'Who are you, a jinn or a human?' It replied, 'No, I am a jinn.' He said, 'Show me your hand.' And there was a dog's hand and fur. He said, 'This is how jinn are created.' My grandfather said, 'I have heard that among you is a man who is stronger than me.' The jinn said, 'What is your concern?' He said, 'I have heard that you are a man who loves charity, so we wanted to have a share of your food.' The jinn asked, 'Will you protect us from you?' He replied, 'This is the verse in Surah Al-Baqarah: 'Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep.' [Quran 2:255] If you recite it in the morning, you will be protected from us until the evening, and if you recite it in the evening, you will be protected from us until the morning.' The next day, Ubayy went to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and informed him of what happened. The Prophet ﷺ confirmed its veracity and said, 'The evildoer has spoken the truth.'"
