Alqamah says: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him): Was there anyone among you with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the night of the jinn? He said: None of us was with him. It happened that one night we found the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) missing. We said: Has he (peace and blessings be upon him) been secretly killed? Has he (peace and blessings be upon him) been taken somewhere? What has happened? We spent the worst night. When it was just before dawn or at the time of suhoor, we suddenly saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) coming from the direction of the Cave of Hira. We said: O Messenger of Allah! Then we told him the whole matter. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The caller of the jinn came to me, so I went to them and recited the Noble Qur’an to them. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) took us and showed us the traces of them and their fire. They were from the jinn of the Arabian Peninsula, and that night they asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about their provision. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every bone with good flesh on which the name of Allah has been mentioned that falls into your hands (that is your provision), and every dung and droppings are fodder for your animals. So do not use these two things for istinja, because these things are the provision of your jinn brothers.
