ثنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْمِصْرِيُّ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَاعِظُ ، نا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ ، نا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، نا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، أَنَّهُ وَضَّأَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ بِنَبِيذٍ ، فَتَوَضَّأَ بِهِ ، وَقَالَ : " شَرَابٌ طَهُورٌ " . ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ لا يُحْتَجُّ بِحَدِيثِهِ ، وَقِيلَ : إِنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ . كَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَغَيْرُهُمَا عَنْهُ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : مَا شَهِدْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this statement from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him): On the night of meeting with the jinn, they made the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform ablution with nabidh (date-infused water), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution with it, and he said: “This is a drink and it is pure.” The narrator named Ibn Lahi’ah is not considered reliable. There is also a statement that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was not present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the night of meeting with the jinn. Alqamah bin Qais has narrated similarly. Abu Ubaidah bin Abdullah and other narrators have narrated this statement from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: “I was not present on the night of meeting with the jinn.”
