[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 informed him that they had a garden in which there was a date palm tree, and it was one that he particularly took care of. However, he noticed that it was decreasing in yield. So, one night he guarded it and suddenly he saw a creature like the appearance of a young boy approaching. He greeted it with salam (peace be upon you), and he responded with the same greeting. He then asked, "Are you a jinn or a human?" The creature replied, "I am a jinn." He said, "Show me your hand." And there, he saw a dog's paw and dog's hair. He said, "This is how the jinn are created." The jinn replied, "I know that none of them is stronger than me." He then asked, "What led you to do what you did?" The jinn replied, "I heard that you are a man who loves charity, so I wanted to eat from your food." He asked, "What can protect us from you?" The jinn replied, "This verse, the verse of the Throne." He left the jinn and went to his father, and informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He has told the truth, even though he is a wicked creature."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُمْ جَرِينٌ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَكَانَ مِمَّا يَتَعَاهَدُهُ فَيَجِدُهُ يَنْقُصُ فَحَرَسَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِدَابَّةٍ كَهَيْئَةِ الْغُلَامِ الْمُحْتَلِمِ قَالَ فَسَلَّمْتُ فَرَدَّ السَّلَامَ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَنْتَ جِنٌّ أَمْ إِنْسٌ؟ فَقَالَ جِنٌّ فَقُلْتُ نَاوِلْنِي يَدَكَ فَإِذَا يَدُ كَلْبٍ وَشَعْرُ كَلْبٍ فَقُلْتُ هَكَذَا خُلِقَ الْجِنُّ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنُّ أَنَّهُ مَا فِيهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ رَجُلٌ تُحِبُّ الصَّدَقَةَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ قُلْتُ فَمَا الَّذِي يَحْرِزُنَا مِنْكُمْ؟ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ قَالَ فَتَرَكْتُهُ وَغَدَا أَبِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «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»  

[Machine] "My grandfather had a jar of dates, and he noticed that it was decreasing. So he guarded it one night, and there he saw a creature resembling a young boy. He greeted it, and it returned the greeting. He asked, 'Who are you, a jinn or a human?' It replied, 'No, I am a jinn.' He said, 'Show me your hand.' And there was a dog's hand and fur. He said, 'This is how jinn are created.' My grandfather said, 'I have heard that among you is a man who is stronger than me.' The jinn said, 'What is your concern?' He said, 'I have heard that you are a man who loves charity, so we wanted to have a share of your food.' The jinn asked, 'Will you protect us from you?' He replied, 'This is the verse in Surah Al-Baqarah: 'Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep.' [Quran 2:255] 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.' The next day, Ubayy went to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and informed him of what happened. The Prophet ﷺ confirmed its veracity and said, 'The evildoer has spoken the truth.'"
