وَعَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: مَا قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الْجِنِّ وَمَا رَآهُمْ، انْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي طَائِفَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَامِدِينَ إِلَى سُوقِ عُكَاظٍ، وَقَدْ حِيلَ بَيْنَ الشَّيَاطِينَ وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ وَأُرْسِلَتْ عَلَيْهَا الشُّهُبُ فَرَجَعْتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِمْ فَقَالُوا: مَالُكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: حِيلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ، وَأُرْسِلَتْ عَلَيْنَا الشُّهُبُ. قَالَ: وَمَا ذَاكَ إِلَّا مِنْ شَيْءٍ حَدَّثَ؛ فَاضْرِبُوا مَشَارِقَ الْأَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبَهَا. فَمَرَّ النَّفْرُ الَّذِينَ أَخَذُوا نَحْوَ تِهَامَةَ، وَهُوَ بِنَخْلَةَ، عَامِدِينَ إِلَى سُوقِ عُكَاظٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا الْقُرْآنَ اسْتَمَعُوا لَهُ وَقَالُوا: هَذَا الَّذِي حَالَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ، فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى قَوْمِهِمْ فَقَالُوا: يَا قَوْمَنَا، إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ، فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَى نَبِيِّهِ {قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ} [الجن: 1]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not (deliberately) recite the Qur'an to the jinn, nor did he (peace and blessings be upon him) see them. Rather, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with a group of his Companions, intending to go to the market of Ukaz, and at that time a barrier had been placed between the devils and the news of the heavens, and shooting stars (meteors) had begun to be hurled at them. So those devils returned to their people, who asked: What has happened to you? They replied: A barrier has been placed between us and the news of the heavens, and shooting stars are being hurled at us. Their chiefs said: This has happened only because of some great event that has recently occurred, so spread out across the easts and the wests of the earth (to find out its cause). So that group of jinn which had gone towards Tihamah passed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the place of Nakhlah, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was leading his Companions in the Fajr prayer, intending to go to the market of Ukaz. When they heard the recitation of the Noble Qur'an, they began to listen to it very attentively and said: This is the very thing that has come between us and the news of the heavens. Then they went back to their people and called out: O our people! 'Indeed, we have heard a wondrous Qur'an, which guides to the right path, so we have believed in it.' Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): 'Say: It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened (to this Qur'an).'"
