[1007] 150 - (450) It was narrated that 'Âmir said: "I asked 'Alqamah: 'Was Ibn Mas'ûd present with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on the night of the jinn?' 'Alqamah said: 'I asked Ibn Mas'ûd: "Were any of you present with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on the night of the jinn?" He said: "No, but we were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on that night, then we missed him and looked for him in the valleys and mountain passes. We feared that he had been taken by the jinn, or secretly murdered, and we spent the worst night that any people have ever spent. In the morning, he came from the direction of Ḥirâ', and we said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, we missed you and we looked for you but did not find you, and we spent the worst night that any people have ever spent.' He said: 'Someone from the jinn came to call me, and I went with him and recited the Qur'ân to them.' Then he set off with us and showed us their tracks and the traces of their fires. They asked him for provisions and he said: 'You may have every bone on which the Name of Allâh has been mentioned that falls into your hands with plenty of meat on it, and all dung is food for your animals.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Do not clean yourselves with them (after relieving yourselves), for they are the food of your brothers.'"

150 - (450) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَلْقَمَةَ هَلْ كَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ شَهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ، أَنَا سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقُلْتُ: هَلْ شَهِدَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ؟ قَالَ: لَا وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَفَقَدْنَاهُ فَالْتَمَسْنَاهُ فِي الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَالشِّعَابِ. فَقُلْنَا: اسْتُطِيرَ أَوِ اغْتِيلَ. قَالَ: فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا إِذَا هُوَ جَاءٍ مِنْ قِبَلَ حِرَاءٍ. قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَدْنَاكَ فَطَلَبْنَاكَ فَلَمْ نَجِدْكَ فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ. فَقَالَ: «أَتَانِي دَاعِي الْجِنِّ فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنَ» قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ بِنَا فَأَرَانَا آثَارَهُمْ وَآثَارَ نِيرَانِهِمْ وَسَأَلُوهُ الزَّادَ فَقَالَ: " لَكُمْ كُلُّ عَظْمٍ ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقَعُ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ أَوْفَرَ مَا يَكُونُ لَحْمًا وَكُلُّ بَعْرَةٍ عَلَفٌ لِدَوَابِّكُمْ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَلَا تَسْتَنْجُوا بِهِمَا فَإِنَّهُمَا طَعَامُ إِخْوَانِكُمْ»
