(1). 3291. Muḥammad bin Al-Munkadir narrated that Jābir [may Allāh be pleased with him] said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out to his Companions, and recited Sūrat Ar-Raḥmān from its beginning to its end for them, and they were silent. So he said: 'I recited it to the Jinns on the 'Night of the Jinns,' and they had a better response to it than you did. Each time I came to Allāh's saying: 'Which of your Lords favors do you deny.' They said: "We do not deny any of Your favors our Lord! And Yours is the praise." (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Gharīb. We do not know of it except as a narration of Al-Walīd bin Muslim, from Zuhair bin Muḥammad. Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal said: "It is as if this Zuhair bin Muḥammad who was in Ash-Shām is not the one reported from in Al-'Irāq. It is as if he is another man whose name was mixed up." Meaning due to the Munkar narrations that they reported from him. I heard Muḥammad bin Ismā'il
[Al-Bukhārī] saying: "The people of Ash-Shām reported Munkar narrations from Zuhair bin Muḥammad while the people of Al-'Irāq reported average narrations from him."

Commentary
Being grateful to the Benefactor along with the favor, and to have the sense and perception of responsibility along with the affirmation of the Lordship is a true natural demand. The person who benefits from the favors of Allah, but he does not admit that the bestower of the favors also has. His rights on him because of the favors, and he will be questioned regarding the Divine Favors; he is, disrespectful to the favors and denies them. Therefore humans and the jinn, are being reminded that the abundant favors and benefits from Allah are making you aware of the accountability, but you are constantly ungrateful.
