اخبرنا مكرم بن احمد القاضي ببغداد، حدثنا عبد الملك بن محمد الرقاشي، حدثنا يحيى بن حماد، حدثنا ابو عوانة، عن ابي بشر، عن سعيد بن جبير، عن ابن عباس قال: ما قرا رسول الله ﷺ على الجن ولا رآهم، ولكنه انطلق مع طائفة من اصحابه عامدين إلى سوق عكاظ، وقد حيل بين الشياطين وبين خبر السماء، وارسلت عليهم الشهب، فرجعوا إلى قومهم فقالوا: ما هذا إلا شيء قد حدث، فاضربوا مشارق الارض ومغاربها (2) فانظروا هذا الذي قد حدث، فانطلقوا يضربون مشارق الارض ومغاربها يبتغون ما هذا الذي قد حال بينهم وبين خبر السماء، فهناك حين رجعوا إلى قومهم فقالوا: ﴿إنا سمعنا قرآنا عجبا (1) يهدي إلى الرشد فآمنا به ولن نشرك بربنا احدا (2)﴾ [الجن: 1 - 2]، فانزل الله ﷿: ﴿قل اوحي إلي انه استمع نفر من الجن﴾ [الجن: 1]، وإنما اوحي إليه قول الجن (1).
هذا حديث صحيح على شرط الشيخين، ولم يخرجاه بهذه السياقة! إنما اخرج مسلم وحده (2) حديث داود بن ابي هند عن الشعبي عن علقمة عن عبد الله بطوله بغير هذه الالفاظ. واخرج البخاري (3) حديث شعبة عن الاعمش عن إبراهيم قال: سالت علقمة: هل كان عبد الله مع النبي ﷺ ليلة الجن؟ فذكر احرفا يسيرة. وقد روي عن عبد الله بن مسعود حديث تداوله الائمة الثقات عن رجل مجهول عن عبد الله بن مسعود: انه شهد مع رسول الله ﷺ ليلة الجن:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) neither recited the Qur'an to the jinn nor saw them. Rather, he (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with a group of his Companions intending to go to the market of Ukaz, and (at that time) a barrier had been placed between the devils and the news of heaven, and burning flames (shooting stars) had been sent against them. So they (the devils) returned to their people and said: This is surely something new that has happened, so spread out across the east and west of the earth and see what this thing is that has happened. So they set out across the east and west of the earth, searching for this thing that had come between them and the news of heaven. Then, when they returned (having passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) to their people, they said: "Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur'an, which guides to right conduct, so we have believed in it, and we will never associate anyone with our Lord" [Al-Jinn: 1-2] . Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) this verse: "Say: It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened (to my recitation)" [Al-Jinn: 1] ; and it was only the speech of the jinn that was revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it in this wording! However, Imam Muslim alone recorded it at length, in words other than these, through the narration of Dawud bin Abi Hind, from al-Sha'bi, from Alqamah, from Abdullah bin Mas'ud. And Imam Bukhari recorded, through the narration of Shu'bah, from al-A'mash, from Ibrahim, that he said: I asked Alqamah: Was Abdullah bin Mas'ud with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Night of the Jinn? And he mentioned a few words about it. And a hadith is narrated from Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), which trustworthy imams have narrated through an unknown man, that he was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Night of the Jinn.

Hadith-science notes and terminology
Note / Clarification: The word "wa-magharibiha" is taken from the printed edition; the margin of ('A) proposes it and marks it as correct, while it is missing from (Z), (S) and (B).
(2) لفظ "ومغاربها" من المطبوع، واستظهره في حاشية (ع) وصحَّح عليه، وسقط من (ز) و (ص) و (ب).
Grading: This hadith is "sahih", and its chain is "qawi" because of 'Abd al-Malik bin Muhammad Abu Qilabah al-Raqashi.
(1) حديث صحيح، وهذا إسناد قوي من أجل عبد الملك بن محمد أبي قِلابة الرقاشي.
Reference / Source: Ahmad (4/2271), al-Bukhari (773, 4921), Muslim (449), al-Tirmidhi (3323), al-Nasa'i (11560, 11561) and Ibn Hibban (6526) narrated it by various routes from Abu 'Awanah with this same chain. So al-Hakim's including it in the Mustadrak is an "oversight" on his part.
وأخرجه أحمد 4 / (2271)، والبخاري (773) و (4921)، ومسلم (449)، والترمذي (3323)، والنسائي (11560) و (11561)، وابن حبان (6526) من طرق عن أبي عوانة، بهذا الإسناد. فاستدراك الحاكم له ذهولٌ منه.
Reference / Source: Number (450) (150-151), and at its beginning it is from 'Alqamah, who said: I asked Ibn Mas'ud: Was any of you present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Night of the Jinn? He said: "No". See "Musnad Ahmad" (7/4149).
(2) برقم (450) (150 - 151)، وفي أوله عن علقمة قال: سألت ابنَ مسعود فقلت: هل شهد أحد منكم مع رسول الله ﷺ ليلة الجن؟ قال: لا. وانظر "مسند أحمد" 7/ (4149).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): This is an "oversight" by the author (al-Hakim) (may Allah have mercy on him), for al-Bukhari did not narrate it by this route. It is in al-Shashi's "Musnad" (332), and in it: I asked 'Alqamah: Was 'Abd Allah (bin Mas'ud) with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Night of the Jinn? He said: "I wish our companion ('Abd Allah) had been there" (meaning he was not).
(3) هذا ذهول من المصنف ﵀، فإنَّ البخاري لم يخرجه من هذا الطريق، وهو عند الشاشي في "مسنده" (332) وفيه: سألت علقمة: أكان عبد الله مع رسول الله ﷺ ليلة الجن؟ فقال: وَدِدتُ أنَّ صاحبنا كان ذاك.
Reference / Source: It is in Muslim (450/152) by way of Abu Ma'shar Ziyad bin Kulayb, from Ibrahim al-Nakha'i, from 'Alqamah, from 'Abd Allah, who said: "I was not with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Night of the Jinn; I wished that I had been with him".
وهو عند مسلم برقم (450) (152) من طريق أبي معشر زياد بن كليب، عن إبراهيم النخعي، عن علقمة، عن عبد الله قال: لم أكن ليلة الجن مع رسول الله ﷺ، وددت أني كنت معه.
