[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated to his wives a story one night. One woman among them said, "O Messenger of Allah, was this story just a fable?" He replied, "Do you know what a fable is? Verily, it was a man from the tribe of 'Udhrah who was captured by the jinn during the time of ignorance (pre-Islamic era). He stayed among them for a long time, and then they returned him to humanity. So, he would tell people about the wonders he saw among them. Thus, people called his story a fable."  

حَدَّثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نِسَاءَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَدِيثًا فَقَالَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَانَ الْحَدِيثُ حَدِيثَ خُرَافَةَ؟ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرِينَ مَا خُرَافَةُ؟ إِنَّ خُرَافَةَ كَانَ رَجُلًا مِنْ عُذْرَةَ أَسَرَتْهُ الْجِنُّ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَمَكَثَ فِيهِنَّ دَهْرًا طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى الْإِنْسِ فَكَانَ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ بِمَا رَأَى فِيهِمْ مِنَ الْأَعَاجِيبِ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ حَدِيثُ خُرَافَةَ  

"أتدرون ما خرافةُ؟ إِن خُرافةَ كان رجلًا من عُذْرَة، أسرته الجنُّ في الجاهليَّةِ، فمكث فيهم دهرًا طويلًا، ثمَّ ردته إِلى الإنسِ، فكان يحدِّثُ الناسَ بما رأى فيهم من الأعاجيب، فقال الناسُ: حديثُ خرافةٍ".
