Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) related an account, and one of the women among them (the pure wives) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this account seems just like the tale of Khurafah." At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know who Khurafah was? Indeed, Khurafah was a man of the tribe of Udhrah whom the jinn abducted in the time of Jahiliyyah. He remained among them for a long time, then they returned him to mankind, and he used to tell people of the strange and astonishing things he had seen among them. So people began to say (of every strange thing): This is the tale of Khurafah."
