[Machine] It seems like he had taken it from him, so he mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Do you want it back?" I said, "Glory be to the one who has made you subservient to Muhammad ﷺ." Abu Hurairah said, "So I said, 'If a jinn stood before me, I would have taken it to the Prophet ﷺ.' He said, 'I only took it to help a poor family of jinn and I will not return it.'" He said, "Then he came back, so I mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ." He said, "Do you want it back?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Say, 'Glory be to the one who has made you subservient to Muhammad ﷺ'." So I said, "When I had it, I intended to take it to the Prophet ﷺ. He made a promise to me that it would not return, so I left it. But then it came back, so I mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ." He said, "Do you want it back?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Say, 'Glory be to the one who has made you subservient to Muhammad ﷺ'." So I said, "You made a promise, but you lied and returned to go to the Prophet ﷺ." He said, "Leave me alone, I will teach you words that when you say them, no male or female jinn will come near you." I said, "What are these words?" He said, "Recite Ayat al-Kursi (the Throne Verse) every morning and evening." Abu Hurairah said, "So I left it, and then I mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ." He said to me, "Did you not know that it was like that?"
