ذِكْرُ الِاحْتِرَازِ مِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ بِقِرَاءَةِ آيَةِ الْكُرْسِيِّ

[Machine] He had a garden of dates, but he found it diminishing, so he guarded it one night. Behold, there he is like a young boy. He greeted him and he returned the greeting, saying, "Are you a jinn or a human?" He said, "Rather, I am a jinn." He said, "Show me your hand." So he showed it and his hand had the appearance of a dog's hand and fur. He said, "This is how the jinn are created." He said, "The jinn knew that there is no man among them stronger than me." He said, "What brought you?" He said, "We were informed that you love to give charity, so we came to have our share of your food." He said, "What prevents us from you?" He said, "Recite Ayat al-Kursi from Surah Al-Baqarah {Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence}. [Al-Baqarah 255]" He said, "Yes." He said, "If you recite it in the morning, you will be protected from us until the evening, and if you recite it in the evening, you will be protected from us until the morning." Ubayy said: So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him about that, and he said, "He has spoken the truth, but he is a wicked one."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ جَرِينُ تَمْرٍ فَكَانَ يَجِدُهُ يَنْقُصُ فَحَرَسَهُ لَيْلَةً فَإِذَا هُوَ بِمِثْلِ الْغُلَامِ الْمُحْتَلِمِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ فَقَالَ أَجِنِّيٌّ أَمْ إِنْسِيٌّ؟ فَقَالَ بَلْ جِنِّيٌّ فَقَالَ أَرِنِي يَدَكَ فَأَرَاهُ فَإِذَا يَدُ كَلْبٍ وَشَعْرُ كَلْبٍ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا خَلْقُ الْجِنِّ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنُّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي قَالَ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ قَالَ أُنْبِئْنَا أَنَّكَ تُحِبُّ الصَّدَقَةَ فَجِئْنَا نُصِيبُ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ قَالَ مَا يُجِيرُنَا مِنْكُمْ؟ قَالَ تَقْرَأُ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ {اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة 255] قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِذَا قَرَأْتَهَا غُدْوَةً أُجِرْتَ مِنَّا حَتَّى تُمْسِيَ وَإِذَا قَرَأْتَهَا حِينَ تُمْسِي أُجِرْتَ مِنَّا حَتَّى تُصْبِحَ قَالَ أُبَيٌّ فَغَدَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «صَدَقَ الْخَبِيثُ»  

[Machine] He had a bag of dates, and he would distribute them. One night, his bag was stolen. So, he guarded it, and suddenly he saw a creature resembling a boy. He greeted him, and the creature greeted him back. He asked, "Are you a jinn or a human?" The creature replied, "No, I am a jinn." He said, "Give me your hand." The creature extended its hand, and he saw that it was a dog's hand with dog hair. He said, "This is how jinn are created." The creature said, "I knew that among us there is someone stronger than me." He asked, "What brought you here?" The creature said, "We heard that you love giving charity, so we came to take some of your food." He asked, "What can save us from you?" The creature said, "This verse in Surat Al-Baqarah: 'Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence.'" Whoever recites it in the evening will be protected by us until morning, and whoever recites it in the morning will be protected by us until evening." In the morning, he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him about what happened. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The impure one spoke the truth."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ جُرْنٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَكَانَ يَنْقُصُ فَحَرَسَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِدَابَّةٍ شِبْهِ الْغُلَامِ الْمُحْتَلِمِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ فَقَالَ مَا أَنْتَ جِنِّيٌّ أَمْ إِنْسِيٌّ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلْ جِنِّيٌّ قَالَ فَنَاوِلْنِي يَدَكَ فَنَاوَلَهُ يَدَهُ فَإِذَا يَدُهُ يَدُ كَلْبٍ وَشَعْرُهُ شَعْرُ كَلْبٍ قَالَ هَكَذَا خَلْقُ الْجِنِّ قَالَ قَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنُّ أَنَّ مَا فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي قَالَ فَمَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ قَالَ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّكَ تُحِبُّ الصَّدَقَةَ فَجِئْنَا نُصِيبُ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ قَالَ فَمَا يُنْجِينَا مِنْكُمْ؟ قَالَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ {اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} مَنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُمْسِي أُجِيرَ مِنَّا حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ وَمَنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُصْبِحُ أُجِيرَ مِنَّا حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «صَدَقَ الْخَبِيثُ»  

[Machine] He informed him that they had a container with dates in it. Ubayy was responsible for it, so he found it to be decreasing, and he guarded it. Then he saw a creature resembling a young boy. He said, "I give my greetings," and the creature replied with a return of greetings. So I said, "Are you a jinn or a human?" The creature said, "I am a jinn." He said, "Extend your hand to me," and the creature extended its hand. Then he saw a hand resembling a dog's hand and hair like a dog's hair. He said, "This is how the jinn are created." Ubayy said to him, "What made you do what you did?" The creature said, "We heard that you are a man who loves charity, so we wanted to share in your food." Ubayy said, "What will protect us from you?" The creature said, "This is the Ayat al-Kursi." Then Ubayy went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "The impure one has spoken the truth."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُمْ جُرْنٌ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَكَانَ أُبَيٌّ يَتَعَاهَدُهُ فَوَجَدَهُ يَنْقُصُ فَحَرَسَهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِدَابَّةٍ تُشْبِهُ الْغُلَامَ الْمُحْتَلِمَ قَالَ فَسَلَّمَتْ فَرَدَّ السَّلَامَ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَنْتَ أَجِنٌّ أَمْ إِنْسٌ؟ قَالَ جِنٌّ قَالَ فَنَاوِلْنِي يَدَكَ فَنَاوَلَنِي يَدَهُ فَإِذَا يَدُ كَلْبٍ وَشَعْرُ كَلْبٍ قَالَ هَكَذَا خَلْقُ الْجِنِّ قَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ الْجِنَّ مَا فِيهِمْ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي قَالَ لَهُ أُبَيٌّ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّكَ رَجُلٌ تُحِبُّ الصَّدَقَةَ فَأَحْبَبْنَا أَنْ نُصِيبَ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ قَالَ أُبَيٌّ فَمَا الَّذِي يُجِيرُنَا مِنْكُمْ؟ قَالَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ ثُمَّ غَدَا أُبَيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «صَدَقَ الْخَبِيثُ»  

"عَنْ أُبَىٍّ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ جَرِينٌ (*) فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَكَانَ (يَتعَاهدُهُ) فَوَجَدَهُ يَنْقُصُ فَحَرَسَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، فَإِذَا بِدَابَّةٍ شَبَه الْغُلاَمِ الْمُحْتَلِمِ، قَالَ: فَسَلَّمْتُ فَرَدَّ السَّلاَمَ، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ أَجِنِّىٌّ، أَمْ إنْسِىٌّ؟ فَقَالَ: جِنِّىٌ، فَقُلْتُ: نَاوِلْنِي يَدَكَ، فَنَاوَلَنِي، فَإِذَا يَدُهُ يَدُ كَلْبٍ، وَشَعْرُهُ شَعْرُ كَلْبٍ، فَقُلْتُ: هَكَذَا خَلْقُ الْجِنِّ، قَالَ: لَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنُّ أَنَّهم مَا فِيهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي، قُلْتُ: مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ: بَلَغَنَا أَنَّكَ رَجُلٌ تُحِبُّ الصَّدَقَةَ، فَأَحْبَبْنَا أَنْ نُصِيبَ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ، قُلْتُ: فَمَا الَّذِي يُجيرُنَا مِنْكُمْ؟ قَالَ: هَذِهِ الآيَةُ، آيَةُ الْكُرْسِىِّ، الَّتِى في سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ مَنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُمْسِى أُجِيرَ مِنَّا حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ، وَمَنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُصْبِحُ أُجِيرَ مِنَّا حَتَّى يُمْسِى، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أُبَىٌّ غَدَا إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ: صَدَقَ الْخَبِيثُ".
