[Machine] Abdullah ibn Mas'ud met a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , who was struggling with a jinn. The man was able to overpower the jinn, and the jinn asked the man to let him go. The man agreed on the condition that the jinn teach him something beneficial if he overpowered him for a third time. The man overpowered the jinn again, and the jinn said, "I see you as weak and thin, like the offspring of a dog. That is how you and the jinn are." The man replied, "No, by Allah, I am not one of them. Rather, let me overpower you for the third time, and if I do, you must teach me something beneficial." The man overpowered the jinn again, and then he asked the jinn to teach him. The man asked, "Can you recite the Ayat al-Kursi?" The jinn replied, "Yes." The man said, "You will not recite it inside a house, but the Shaytan will leave the house with a noise like that of a donkey. It will not enter the house until morning." A man from the people asked, "O Abu Abdullah! Who is that man from the companions of Muhammad ﷺ ?" Abdullah ibn Mas'ud frowned and approached him, saying, "Who could it be but Umar?"
