[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting, and they used to think that revelation would descend upon him, so they stayed away from him. Then Abu Dharr came and entered (the place where the Prophet was sitting) and approached him and sat down with him. He (the Prophet) faced him and said, "O Abu Dharr, did you pray today?" He said, "No." He said, "Stand up and pray." So when he prayed four units of Duha prayer, he faced him and said, "O Abu Dharr, did you seek refuge from the evil of the jinn and humans?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah, do humans have jinn?" He said, "Yes, the jinn and humans have devils who whisper to each other adorned words of deception."
