أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
كَانَتِ الْجِنُّ تَصْعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْوَحْيَ فَإِذَا سَمِعُوا الْكَلِمَةَ زَادُوا فِيهَا تِسْعًا فَأَمَّا الْكَلِمَةُ فَتَكُونُ حَقًّا وَأَمَّا مَا زَادُوا فَيَكُونُ بَاطِلًا فَلَمَّا بُعِثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُنِعُوا مَقَاعِدَهُمْ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِإِبْلِيسَ وَلَمْ تَكُنِ النُّجُومُ يُرْمَى بِهَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِبْلِيسُ مَا هَذَا إِلَّا لِأَمْرٍ حَدَثَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَبَعَثَ جُنُودَهُ فَوَجَدُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي فَأَتَوْهُ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ هَذَا الْحَدَثُ الَّذِي حَدَثَ فِي الْأَرْضِ

✧ The jinn used to ascend to the sky to listen to the revelation; when they heard a word, they added nine to it. As for the word, it became true, while what they added became false. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sent, they were prevented from their listening posts. They mentioned that to Iblis, and stars had not been used for pelting before that. Iblis said to them, 'This is only because of something that has happened on earth.' So he sent his troops, and they found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing in prayer. They came to him and informed him, and he said, 'This is the event that has happened on earth.'
