I said to Ibn Mas'ood: Did any of you accompany The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the night of the jinn? He said: None of us accompanied him, but we noticed he was absent one night and we wondered if he had been secretly murdered or snatched by the jinn - what had happened?, and we spent the worst night that any people have ever spent. When morning came - or he said: before dawn - he came from the direction of Hira’, and we said: O Messenger of Allah... and they told him what they had been thinking. He said: “Someone from the jinn came to call me, and I went with him and recited the Qur'an to them.” Then he set off with us and showed us their tracks and the traces of their fires. Ash-Sha'bi said: They asked him for provision; Ibn Abi Za'idah said: ‘Amir said: On that night they asked him for provision, and they were from among the jinn of al-Jazeerah. He said: “You may have every bone on which the name of Allah has been mentioned that falls into your hands with plenty of meat on it, and all dung is food for your animals.” (The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:) "Do not clean yourselves with them (after relieving yourselves), for they are the food of your brothers among the jinn."
