وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ خَطَّ حَوْلَهُ يَعْنِي حَوْلَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَكَانَ يَجِيءُ أَحَدُهُمْ مِثْلُ سَوَادِ النَّخْلِ وَقَالَ لِي لَا تَبْرَحْ مَكَانَكَ فَأَقْرَأَهُمْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الزُّطَّ قَالَ كَأَنَّهُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَعَكَ مَاءٌ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ أَمَعَكَ نَبِيذٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَتَوَضَّأَ بِهِ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the night of the jinn, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) drew a line around him, the jinn would come near him like the shade of date palms, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: You must remain in your place. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the Book of Allah to them. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw the Zutt people, he said: It is as if these are the same. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: Do you have water? I said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you have nabidh? I said: Yes. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution with nabidh.
