[Machine] We said to Abdullah, "Did anyone from among you accompany the Prophet ﷺ on the night of the jinn?" He said, "None of us accompanied him except me. We set out that night in search of a man who had been missing. We thought he might have been taken captive or killed, so we scattered in the valleys and the ravines to search for him. Then I met the Prophet ﷺ approaching me from the direction of Hira. I said, 'By my mother and father! We have been in search of a man who spent a night with some people.' He said, 'Indeed, he was called by the jinn, and I answered them by reciting the Quran to them.' He showed me their tracks and the traces of their fires."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٥٥٩أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ

قُلْنَا لِعَبْدِ اللهِ هَلْ صَحِبَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ؟ قَالَ لَمْ يَصْحَبْهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَنَا بِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ إِنَّا افْتَقَدْنَاهُ فَقُلْنَا اسْتُطِيرَ أَوِ اغْتِيلَ فَتَفَرَّقْنَا فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ نَطْلُبُهُ فَلَقِيتُهُ مُقْبِلًا مِنْ نَحْوِ حِرَاءَ فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي بِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي دَاعِي الْجِنِّ فَأَجَبْتُهُمْ أُقْرِئُهُمُ الْقُرْآنَ» وَأَرَانِي آثَارَهَمْ وَآثَارَ نِيرَانِهِمْ
