[Machine] There was a group of humans who were worshipping a group of jinn. Then the group of jinn accepted Islam and the humans continued to cling to their worship. So Allah, the Almighty, revealed, "Say, 'Call upon those whom you claim [as deities] besides Him; they have no power to remove affliction from you or to change it.' Those [whom they invoke] seek means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment." [Surah Al-Isra' 57] "Both groups with the letter 'ya'."  

كَانَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعْبُدُونَ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَأَسْلَمَ النَّفَرُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَتَمَسَّكَ الْإِنْسِيُّونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ فَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَلَا تَحْوِيلًا أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ} [الإسراء 57] «كِلَاهُمَا بِالْيَاءِ»  

[Machine] About Abdullah's saying, "{Those are the ones who invoke, seeking means to their Lord.}" He said, "There were people who used to be worshiped. So those who used to worship them embraced Islam, while those who used to worship them did not know (the truth) about them. Thus, Allah criticized them for that." Then he said, "{Those are the ones who invoke, seeking means to their Lord.}"  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ {أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ} قَالَ «كَانَ نَاسٌ يَعْبُدُونَهُمْ فَأَسْلَمَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَهُمْ وَلَا يَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَهُمْ فَعَيَّرَهُمُ اللهُ ﷻ بِذَلِكَ» فَقَالَ {أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ}  

[Machine] There were some people who used to worship the jinn, then the jinn accepted Islam and the humans remained steadfast in their worship. Then Allah revealed, "Those whom they invoke seek means of access to their Lord" [al-Isra' 17:57].  

كَانَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعْبُدُونَ الْجِنِّ فَأَسْلَمَ الْجِنُّ وَثَبَتَ الْإِنْسُ عَلَى عِبَادَتِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ} [الإسراء 57]  

[Machine] Abdullah narrated that there was a group of humans who worshipped a group of jinn. Then the humans accepted Islam, but those who used to worship the jinn continued in their worship. So Allah revealed the verse "Those whom they invoke seek means of access to their Lord" [Al-Isra 57].  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ {أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ} [الإسراء 57] قَالَ كَانَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعْبُدُونَ قَوْمًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَأَسْلَمُوا وَبَقِيَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَهُمْ عَلَى عِبَادَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ {أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ} [الإسراء 57]  

[Machine] From Abdullah, regarding his saying, "Those are the ones who invoke, seeking means to their Lord." [17:57]. He said, "There were people among mankind who worshipped the jinn. Then the jinn embraced Islam and these people adhered to their religion."  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ {أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ} [الإسراء 57] قَالَ «كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعْبُدُونَ نَاسًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَأَسْلَمَ الْجِنُّ وَتَمَسَّكَ هَؤُلَاءِ بِدِينِهِمْ»
