"إِنَّ الهَوامَّ من الجنِّ، فمنْ رأى في بيتِه شيئًا فَليُحَرِّجْ عليه ثلاث مَرَّات فَإِنْ عادَ فَليَقْتُلهُ؛ فإِنه شَيْطَانٌ ".  

[د] أبو داود عن أبى سعيد

ذِكْرُ الْعَلَامَةِ الَّتِي يُفَرَّقُ بِهَا بَيْنَ مَسْخِ الْجِنِّ وَبَيْنَ الْحَيَّاتِ عِنْدَ قَتْلِهِنَّ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "These are the whispers of the jinn. So when any one of you sees something in his house, he should impede it three times. If he sees it after that, he should kill it, for it is only a devil."  

ابن حبّان:٥٦٤١أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَذِهِ هَوَامٌّ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي بَيْتِهِ شَيْئًا فَلْيُحَرِّجْ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنْ رَآهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَقْتُلْهَا فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ شَيْطَانٌ»
