[Machine] As if he had taken it from him, so he mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, "Do you want to take it?" Say, "Glory be to the One who has made you subject to Muhammad ﷺ." Abu Hurayrah said, "So I said, 'Then since I have it, I stood before the Prophet ﷺ and took it to go to him.' He said, 'Indeed, I took it to a poor household of jinn, and I will not go back.'" He said, "So he returned, and I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, 'Do you want to take it?' So I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Say, "Glory be to the One who has made you subject to Muhammad ﷺ."' So I said, 'Then since I have it.' I intended to go to the Prophet ﷺ, and he made an agreement with me that he would not return, so I left it. Then he returned, and I mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, 'Do you want to take it?' So I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Say, "Glory be to the One who has made you subject to Muhammad ﷺ."' So I said, 'Then since I have it.' I said, 'You made an agreement with me and then broke it, and I went to take you to the Prophet ﷺ.' He said, 'Leave me, and I will teach you words that will protect you from remembering or encountering a male or female member of the jinn.' So I said, 'What are these words?' He said, 'Recite Ayat al-Kursi at every morning and evening.' Abu Hurayrah said, 'So I left him, and I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, "Did you know that it was so?"'
