(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا وَمَعَهُ قَرِينُهُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَمِنْ الْجِنِّ " ، قَالُوا : وَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " وَأَنَا ، إِلَّا أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمَ ، وَلَا يَأْمُرُنِي إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For each one of you, a companion from among the jinn and a companion from among the angels has been appointed." The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Even with you?" He replied: "Yes! But Allah has helped me against him, so now he only commands me to speak the truth."
