عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ الْمُعَطَّلِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا حُجَّاجًا فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِالْعَرْجِ إِذَا نَحْنُ بِحَيَّةٍ تَضْطَرِبُ فَلَمْ تَلْبَثْ أَنْ مَاتَتْ فَأَخْرَجَ لَهَا رَجُلٌ خَرْقَةً مِنْ عَيْبَتِهِ فَلَفَّهَا فِيهَا وَدَفَنَهَا وَخَدَّ لَهَا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا مَكَّةَ فَإِنَّا لَبِالْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِذَا وَقَفَ عَلَيْنَا شَخْصٌ فَقَالَ أَيُّكُمْ صَاحِبُ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَابِرٍ قُلْنَا مَا نَعْرِفُهُ قَالَ أَيُّكُمْ صَاحِبُ الْجَانِّ قَالُوا هَذَا قَالَ إِمَّا أَنَّهُ جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا إِمَّا أَنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ التِّسْعَةِ مَوْتًا الَّذِينَ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ
It is narrated from Safwan bin Muattal, he says: We set out for the performance of Hajj, when we were at the place of ‘Arj, we saw a snake trembling and then soon it died. A man took out a rag from his bag, wrapped the snake in it, dug a pit in the ground, and buried it. When we reached Makkah Mukarramah and were sitting in Masjid al-Haram, a man stood near us and said: Who among you is the companion of ‘Amr bin Jabir? We said: We do not know him. He said: Who among you is the one with the jinn? The people said: This is he. He said: May Allah reward you with goodness, this jinn was the last of the nine jinns who had come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to listen to the Noble Qur’an.
