[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, used to visit Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari in a room. His food was in a basket in the alcove. It used to come from the upper part of the house until it took the food from the basket. Abu Ayyub complained about this to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "That is a jinn. When it comes, tell it that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, has commanded you not to come back." So when it came, Abu Ayyub said to it, "The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, has commanded you not to come back." It said, "O Abu Ayyub, let me go this time, and I swear by Allah, I will not return." Abu Ayyub left it. Then he came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and informed him about it. The jinn said the same thing twice, and then it asked him, "Would you like me to teach you some words that if you say them, Satan will not come near your house tonight, tomorrow, and the next day?" He said, "Yes." She said, "Recite Ayat al-Kursi: Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence." [Quran 2:255]. He came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and informed him. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "She has told the truth, even though she is a liar."
