٦۔٤٨ حديث ابن عبس، عن النبي ﷺ

A jinn announcing that a prophet had come inviting to monotheism

ahmad:15462Muḥammad b. Bakr > ʿUbaydullāh b. Abū Ziyād > ʿAbdullāh b. Kathīr al-Dārī > Mujāhid

We were told by a shaykh who ˹lived during˺ the jāhilī (pre-Islamic period ˹of ignorance˺, while we were in the battle of Rudis, known as Ibn ʿAbs. He said: I used to herd a cow for my family. I heard a clear voice coming from its belly: "O family of Dharīḥ, an eloquent speech, a man calling out that there is no god but Allah." He said, "So we arrived at Mecca and found the Prophet ﷺ had already come out ˹as a Prophet˺."  

أحمد:١٥٤٦٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الدَّارِيُّ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ

حَدَّثَنَا شَيْخٌ أَدْرَكَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةَ وَنَحْنُ فِي غَزْوَةِ رُودِسَ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبْسٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسُوقُ لِآلٍ لَنَا بَقَرَةً قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُ مِنْ جَوْفِهَا يَا آلَ ذَرِيحْ قَوْلٌ فَصِيحْ رَجُلٌ يَصِيحْ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ قَالَ فَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ فَوَجَدْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدْ خَرَجَ
