Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 12378 — The jinn used to ascend to the heaven

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: " كَانَ الْجِنُّ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْوَحْيَ، فَإِذَا سَمِعُوا الْكَلِمَةَ زَادُوا فِيهَا تِسْعًا، أَمَّا الْكَلِمَةُ فَتَكُونُ حَقًّا، وَأَمَّا مَا زَادُوا فَيَكُونُ بَاطِلًا فَلَمَّا بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مُنِعُوا مَقَاعِدَهُمْ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِإِبْلِيسَ، وَلَمْ تَكُنِ النُّجُومُ يُرْمَى بِهَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِبْلِيسُ: هَذَا لِأَمْرٍ قَدْ حَدَثَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَبَعَثَ جُنُودَهُ فَوَجَدُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْنِ، فَأَتَوْهُ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا الْأَمْرُ الَّذِي قَدْ حَدَثَ فِي الْأَرْضِ "
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: "The jinn used to ascend to the heaven and listen to the revelation. When they heard a word, they would add nine things of their own to it. The original word would be true, but what they added would be false. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, they were prevented from their seats. This was mentioned to Iblis, and before that, stars had not been thrown at the devils. So Iblis said to them: This is because of something that has happened on the earth. So he sent out his troops, and they found the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) standing in prayer between two mountains. They came to him and informed him, and he said: This is the thing that has happened on the earth."
