"عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِى لَيْلَى أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ خَرَجَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ قَوْمِهِ لِيَشْهَدَ الْعشَاءَ فَاسْتُطِيرَ فَجَاءَتِ امْرَأُتُهُ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَدَعَا قَوْمَهُ فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَصَدَّقُوهَا أَنْ تَتَربَّصَ أَرْبَعَ حِجَجٍ ثُمَّ أَتَتْهُ بَعْدَ انْقضَائِهِنَّ، وَأَمَرَهَا فَتَزَوَّجَتْ، ثُمَّ قَدِمَ زَوْجُهَا فَصَرَخَ بِعُمَرَ فَقَالَ: امْرَأَتِى لَا طَلَّقْتُ وَلَا مِتُّ، قَالَ: مَنْ ذَا؟ قَالَوا: الرَّجُلُ الَّذِى كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَخَيرُه بَيْنَ امْرَأَتِهِ وَبَيْنَ الْمَهْرِ، وَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: ذَهَبَ بِى حَىٌّ مِنَ الْجِنِّ كُفَّارٌ فَكُنْتُ فِيهِمْ، قَالَ: فَمَا كَانَ طَعَامُكَ فِيهِمْ؟ قَالَ: مَا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّه عَلَيْهِ، وَالْفُولُ، حَتَّى غَزاهُمْ حَىٌّ مُسْلِمُونَ فَهَزَمُوهُمْ، فَأَصَابُونِى في السَّبْى، فَقَالُوا: مَا دِينُكَ؟ قُلْتُ: الإِسْلَامُ، قَالُوا: أَنْتَ عَلَى دِينِنَا، إِنْ شِئْتَ مَكَثْتَ عِنْدَنَا وَإِنْ شئْتَ رَدَدْنَاكَ عَلَى قَوْمِكَ، قُلْتُ: رُدُّونِى، فَبَعَثُوا مَعِى نَفَرًا مِنْهُمْ، أَمَّا اللَّيْلُ فَيُحَدِّثُونِى (وَأُحَدِّثُهُمْ) وَأَمَّا النَّهَارُ فَإعْصَارُ الرِّيحِ أَتْبَعُهَا حَتَّى رُدِدْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ، قَالَ ابْن جرَيْجٍ: وَأَمَّا أَبُو قَزْعَةَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ عُمَرَ سَأَلَهُ: أَيْنَ كُنْتَ؟ فَقَالَ: ذَهَبَ بِى جِنٌّ كُفَّارٌ فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا يَدُورُونَ بِى في الأَرْضِ حَتَّى وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْت فِيِهمْ مُسْلِمُونَ فَأَخَذُونِى فَرَدُّونِى، قَالَ: مَاذَا يُشَارِكُونَنَا فِيهِ مِنْ طَعَامِنَا؟ قَالَ: فِيمَا لَا يَذكُرونَ اسْمَ اللَّه عَلَيْهِ مِنْهَا، وَفِيمَا سَقَطَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: إنِ اسْتَطَعْتُ لَا يَسْقُطُ مِنِّى شَىْءٌ".

"On the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla: A man from the Ansar went out to the mosque of his people to attend the 'Isha' prayer, and he was carried off (istutira). His wife came to 'Umar and told him of that. He summoned his people and asked them about it, and they confirmed her account. He ordered her to wait four years, and after they had passed she came to him, and he ordered her to remarry. Then her husband returned and cried out to 'Umar, saying: 'My wife! I have not divorced her and I have not died!' He asked: 'Who is this man?' They said: 'The man whose affair was such-and-such.' So he gave him the choice between his wife and the dowry. He asked him, and he said: 'A group of disbelieving jinn took me, and I was among them.' He asked: 'What was your food among them?' He said: 'Whatever the name of Allah had not been mentioned over, and the fool (fawl, a type of bean).' Then a group of Muslim jinn fought them and defeated them, and they captured me among the captives. They said: 'What is your religion?' I said: 'Islam.' They said: 'You are upon our religion. If you wish, you may remain with us, and if you wish, we will return you to your people.' I said: 'Return me.' So they sent with me a group of them. At night they would talk to me and I would talk to them, and by day a whirlwind (i'sar al-rih) I would follow until I was returned to you.' Ibn Juraij said: As for Abu Qaz'ah, I heard him say that 'Umar asked him: 'Where were you?' He said: 'Disbelieving jinn took me, and they kept moving me around the earth until I came upon a household among whom were Muslims. They took me and returned me.' He asked: 'What do they share with us of our food?' He said: 'Of that over which they do not mention the name of Allah, and what falls.' 'Umar said: 'If I am able, nothing that falls from me will be lost.'"
