عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ حَدَّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِسَاءَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَدِيثًا فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَأَنَّ الْحَدِيثَ حَدِيثُ خُرَافَةَ فَقَالَ ((أَتَدْرُونَ مَا خُرَافَةُ إِنَّ خُرَافَةَ كَانَ رَجُلًا مِنْ عُذْرَةَ أَسَرَتْهُ الْجِنُّ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَمَكَثَ فِيهِنَّ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى الْإِنْسِ فَكَانَ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ بِمَا رَأَى فِيهِمْ مِنْ أَعَاجِيبَ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ حَدِيثُ خُرَافَةَ))
Narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told his wives something one night. One of the Mothers of the Believers said: O Messenger of Allah! It seems that this is a tale of Khurafa. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know what Khurafa is? Khurafa was a man from the tribe of Udhra. The jinn had captured him during the time of ignorance. He remained among the jinn for a long time, then they released him among the people. He used to narrate strange things about the jinn to the people, and people called it the tale of Khurafa.
