It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the very first news we received regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was that a woman had a jinn under her control. Once, that jinn came to her in the form of a bird and sat on a branch of a tree. The woman said to him, "Why don't you come down so that you can tell us your news and we can tell you ours?" He replied, "A man has appeared in Makkah Mukarramah who has declared adultery unlawful for us and has forbidden us from staying in this manner."
