حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّلِيلِ، قَالَ: أَصَابَ رَجُلٌ دَمًا، قَالَ: فَأَوَى إِلَى وَادِي مَجَنَّةٍ: وَادٍ لَا يُمْسِي فِيهِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَصَابَتْهُ حَيَّةٌ: وَعَلَى شَفِيرِ الْوَادِي رَاهِبَانِ، قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ: هَلَكَ وَاللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ، قَالَ: فَافْتَتَحَ سُورَةَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ، قَالَا: فَقَرَأَ سُورَةً طَيِّبَةً لَعَلَّهُ سَيَنْجُو، قَالَ: فَأَصْبَحَ سَلِيمًا" . قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد: أَبُو السَّلِيلِ: ضُرَيْبُ بْنُ نُقَيْرٍ، ويقال: ابن نفير.
Abu al-Salil said: Retribution (qisas) became obligatory upon a man, so he said: I will take refuge in the valley of the jinn, and it was such a valley that whoever entered it would be possessed by jinn. And on the edge of that valley were two monks. When evening approached for that man, one of the monks said to his companion: By Allah, this man is doomed. The narrator said: That man began reciting Surah Al-Imran, so both monks said: He has recited a good surah, perhaps he will be saved. The narrator said: Thus, morning came and he was safe and sound. Imam Darimi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: The name of Abu al-Salil is Duraib bin Faqir and he is also called Ibn Nafeer.
