عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ الْجِنُّ يَسْمَعُونَ الْوَحْيَ فَيَسْتَمِعُونَ الْكَلِمَةَ فَيَزِيدُونَ فِيهَا عَشْرًا فَيَكُونَ مَا سَمِعُوا حَقًّا وَمَا زَادُوهُ بَاطِلًا وَكَانَتِ النُّجُومُ لَا يُرْمَى بِهَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَلَمَّا بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ لَا يَأْتِي مَقْعَدَهُ إِلَّا رُمِيَ بِشِهَابٍ يُحْرِقُ مَا أَصَابَ، فَشَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَى إِبْلِيسَ فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا إِلَّا مِنْ أَمْرٍ قَدْ حَدَثَ، فَبَثَّ جُنُودَهُ، فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْ نَخْلَةَ، فَأَتَوْهُ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ: هَذَا الْحَدَثُ الَّذِي حَدَثَ فِي الْأَرْضِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the jinn used to listen to the revelation and, after hearing one thing, would add ten things to it. Whatever they had heard was true, but what they added from themselves was false. Before the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, shooting stars did not fall. When the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was sent, whichever jinn came to his place, the shooting star that struck him would burn him. They complained about this to Iblis. He said: Surely, some new situation has arisen, that is why this is happening. He spread out his armies to investigate. Suddenly, they saw that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was performing prayer between two mountains in the valley of Nakhlah. They came to Iblis and informed him of this. He said: This is the event that has newly occurred on the earth.
