حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ هَلْ صَحِبَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ قَالَ مَا صَحِبَهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ وَلَكِنْ قَدِ افْتَقَدْنَاهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ فَقُلْنَا اغْتِيلَ أَوِ اسْتُطِيرَ مَا فُعِلَ بِهِ فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ حَتَّى إِذَا أَصْبَحْنَا أَوْ كَانَ فِي وَجْهِ الصُّبْحِ إِذَا نَحْنُ بِهِ يَجِيءُ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِرَاءَ قَالَ فَذَكَرُوا لَهُ الَّذِي كَانُوا فِيهِ فَقَالَ أَتَانِي دَاعِيَ الْجِنِّ فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَانْطَلَقَ فَأَرَانَا آثَارَهُمْ وَآثَارَ نِيرَانِهِمْ قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ وَسَأَلُوهُ الزَّادَ وَكَانُوا مِنْ جِنِّ الْجَزِيرَةِ فَقَالَ كُلُّ عَظْمٍ لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقَعُ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ أَوْفَرَ مَا كَانَ لَحْمًا وَكُلُّ بَعْرَةٍ أَوْ رَوْثَةٍ عَلَفٌ لِدَوَابِّكُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلاَ تَسْتَنْجُوا بِهِمَا فَإِنَّهُمَا زَادُ إِخْوَانِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ

that 'Alqamah said: "I said to Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him: 'Did any of you accompany the Prophet ﷺ on the Night of the Jinn?' He said: 'None of us accompanied him. One night, while he was in Makkah, we could not find him. We said: "He has been murdered [or] snatched, what has happened to him?" So we spent the worst night a people could spend until the morning' or 'it was about dawn when we saw him coming from the direction of Hira.' He said: 'They told him about what they had went through.'" "So he ﷺ said: 'Someone from the Jinn came to invite me, so I went to them to recite for them.' He said: "So we went and saw their tracks and the traces of their camp fire.'" Ash-Sha'bi said: "They asked him about their provisions - and they were Jinns of Mesopotamia - so he said: 'Every bone upon which Allah's name has not been mentioned, that falls into your hands, and every dropping of dung is fodder for your beasts.'" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not perform Istinja with them for indeed they are provisions for your brothers among the Jinns."

هذا حديث حسن صحيح
machine translationThis is a good and sound (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ) hadith.
in جامع الترمذي, p. 3579 - Dāraquṭnī
يرويه داود بن أبي هند عن الشعبي عن علقمة عن عبد الله رواه عنه جماعة من الكوفيين والبصريين فأما البصريون فجعلوا قوله وسألوه الزاد إلى آخر الحديث من قول الشعبي مرسلا وأما يحيى بن أبي زائدة وغيره من الكوفيين فأدرجوه في حديث ابن مسعود عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والصحيح قول من فصله فإنه من كلام الشعبي مرسلا
machine translationDāwūd b. Abī Hind narrates it from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh; a group of Kufans and Basrans narrated it from him. The Basrans made the words "and they asked him for provision" to the end of the hadith the statement of al-Shaʿbī, as a mursal report. As for Yaḥyā b. Abī Zāʾidah and others of the Kufans, they inserted it (idrāj) into the hadith of Ibn Masʿūd from the Prophet ﷺ. The correct view is that of those who separated it, for it is the speech of al-Shaʿbī as a mursal report.
in جامع الترمذي, p. 3579 - al-Tirmidhi
كأن رواية إسماعيل أصح من رواية حفص بن غياث
machine translationThe narration of Ismāʿīl seems more sound (aṣaḥḥ) than the narration of Ḥafṣ b. Ghiyāth.
