2880. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Lailā narrated that Abū Ayyūb Al-Anṣārī had a store house in which he kept dates. A ghoul would come and take from it, so he complained about that to the Prophet ﷺ. So he said: "Go, and when you see her say: 'In the Name of Allāh, answer to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.'" He said: "So I caught her, and she swore that she would not return, so I released her." He went to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: "What did your captive do?" He said: "She swore not to return." He said: "She has lied, and she will come again to lie." He said: "I caught her another time and she swore that she would not return, so I released her, and went to the Prophet ﷺ." He said: "What did your captive do?" He said: "She swore that she would not return." So he said: "She lied and she will come again to lie." So he caught her and said: "I shall not let you go until you accompany me to the Prophet ﷺ." She said: "I shall tell you something: If you recite Āyat Al-Kursī in your home, then no Shaitān, nor any other shall come near you." So he went to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: "What did your captive do?" He said: "I informed him of what she said, and he said: 'She told the truth and she
is a continuous liar.”” (Hasan)
