عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ خَبَرٍ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَ لَهَا تَابِعٌ قَالَ فَأَتَاهَا فِي صُورَةِ طَيْرٍ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى جِذْعٍ لَهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ أَلَا تَنْزِلُ فَنُخْبِرُكَ وَتُخْبِرُنَا قَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ بِمَكَّةَ حَرَّمَ عَلَيْنَا الزِّنَا وَمَنَعَ مِنَ الْفِرَارِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: Indeed, the first news we received about the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was that a woman had a follower who was a jinn. One day, he came in the form of a bird and sat on her trunk. The woman said: Will you not come down so that we may tell you things and you may tell us? But he said: A man has appeared in Makkah Mukarramah; he has forbidden adultery for us and has also prohibited fleeing from battle during jihad.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … However, it is correct that the jinn become subservient to certain people and then keep them informed of various events. Astrologers and soothsayers also have a similar arrangement.
