It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions while he was in Makkah: "Whoever among you would like to be present tonight at the affair of the jinn, let him do so." None of them came except me. So we set out, until, when we reached the upper part of Makkah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) drew a line for me with his blessed foot, then ordered me to sit within it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went on until he stood and began reciting the Qur'an. Then many dark, shadow-like figures covered him (peace and blessings be upon him) and came between me and him (peace and blessings be upon him), until I could not even hear his (peace and blessings be upon him) voice. Then they began to leave, and went off breaking apart like pieces of cloud, until a small group of them remained. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished at dawn, went and relieved himself, then came to me and said: "What became of the group?" I said: O Messenger of Allah, there they are. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) took a bone and some dung and gave it to them as provision. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade anyone from cleaning himself after relieving himself (istinja') with a bone or dung.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will make him enter an ever-increasing punishment (sa'ad)" [Al-Jinn: 17] , that he said: (By "sa'ad" is meant) a mountain in Hell. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "They almost became a crowd around him" [Al-Jinn: 19] , that he said: They (the jinn) would bow when he (peace and blessings be upon him) bowed and prostrate when he (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrated; that is, he was referring to the jinn. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
