( وأخبرنا ) أبو عبد الله محمد بن يعقوب ، ثنا محمد بن النضر ، ومحمد بن نعيم ، وإبراهيم بن أبي طالب ، قالوا : ثنا محمد بن المثنى ، قال : حدثني عبد الأعلى بن عبد الأعلى ، عن داود ، عن عامر قال : سألت علقمة هل كان ابن مسعود شهد مع رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – ليلة الجن ؟ قال علقمة : أنا سألت ابن مسعود ، فقلت : هل شهد أحد منكم مع رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – ليلة الجن ؟ قال : لا ، ولكنا كنا مع رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – ذات ليلة ففقدناه ، فالتمسناه في الأودية والشعاب ، فقلنا : استطير أو اغتيل ، فبتنا بشر ليلة بات بها قوم ، فلما أصبحنا إذ هو جاء من قبل حراء ، فقلنا : يا رسول الله فقدناك ، فطلبناك ، فلم نجدك ، فبتنا بشر ليلة بات بها قوم . قال : أتاني داعي الجن ، فذهبت معه ، فقرأت عليهم القرآن ، قال : فانطلق بنا ، فأرانا آثارهم وآثار نيرانهم ، وسألوه الزاد ، فقال : كل عظم ذكر اسم الله عليه يقع في أيديكم أوفر ما يكون لحما ، وكل بعرة علف لدوابكم ، ثم قال رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – : لا تستنجوا بهما ؛ فإنهما طعام إخوانكم . رواه مسلم بن الحجاج في الصحيح ، عن محمد بن المثنى
Dawud reported from ‘Amir who said:I asked ‘Alqama if Ibn Mas’ud was present with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the night of the Jinn (the night when the Prophet met them). He (Ibn Mas’uad) said: No, but we were in the company of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one night and we missed him. We searched for him in the valleys and the hills and said. He has either been taken away (by jinn) or has been secretly killed. He (the narrator) said. We spent the worst night which people could ever spend. When it was dawn we saw him coming from the side of Hiri’. He (the narrator) reported. We said: Messenger of Allah, we missed you and searched for you, but we could not find you and we spent the worst night which people could ever spend. He (the Holy Prophet) said: There came to me an inviter on behalf of the Jinn and I went along with him and recited to them the Qur’an. He (the narrator) said: He then went along with us and showed us their traces and traces of their embers. They (the Jinn) asked him (the Holy Prophet) about their provision and he said: Every bone on which the name of Allah is recited is your provision. The time it will fall in your hand it would be covered with flesh, and the dung of (the camels) is fodder for your animals. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Don’t perform istinja with these (things) for these are the food of your brothers (Jinn).
