Musnad Abi Ya'la al-Mawsili
من مسند أبي سعيد الخدري
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
مِنْ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1192 — I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي صَيْفِيُّ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ أَسْلَمُوا، فَمَنْ رَأَى شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْعَوَامِرِ فَلْيُؤْذِنْهُ ثَلَاثًا، فَإِنْ بَدَا لَهُ بَعْدُ فَلْيَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "In Madinah there is a group of jinn who have accepted Islam. So whoever among you sees any of these dwellers of houses (snakes and the like), let him warn it three times (to leave). Then if it appears to him after that, let him kill it, for it is a devil."
