Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5237 — Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) relates
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ: هَلْ صَحِبَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: مَا صَحِبَهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ، وَلَكِنَّا فَقَدْنَاهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ بِمَكَّةَ فَقُلْنَا اغْتِيلَ، اسْتُطِيرَ، فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ السَّحَرِ - أَوْ قَالَ: الصُّبْحِ - إِذَا نَحْنُ بِهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِرَاءَ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَذَكَرُوا الَّذِي كَانُوا فِيهِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي دَاعِيَ الْجِنِّ، فَأَتَيْتُ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ»، فَانْطَلَقَ فَأَرَانَا آثَارَهُمْ وَآثَارَ نِيرَانِهِمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that I asked him: "On the Night of the Jinn, was any of you with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said: "None of us was with him (peace and blessings be upon him). However, one night in Makkah we found him (peace and blessings be upon him) missing, and we said (in great anxiety): perhaps he (peace and blessings be upon him) has been secretly assassinated, or someone has carried him (peace and blessings be upon him) off. So we spent that night in such severe distress and turmoil that no people could have spent a worse night. Then when it was the time of the pre-dawn (or the narrator said: the morning), suddenly we saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) coming from the direction of Hira'. We said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! (and the Companions mentioned the distress they had been in), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Indeed, a caller of the jinn came to me, so I went with him and recited the Qur'an to them.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) took us along and showed us the footprints of the jinn and the traces of their fires."
