حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ ، ثنا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْهَاشِمِيُّ ، نا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْعِجْلِيُّ ، نا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، يَقُولُ : كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ فَأَتَاهُمْ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنَ ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ : " أَمَعَكَ مَاءٌ يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : لا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِلا إِدَاوَةً فِيهَا نَبِيذٌ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَمْرَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَمَاءٌ طَهُورٌ " ، فَتَوَضَّأَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ هَذَا يَضَعُ الْحَدِيثَ عَلَى الثِّقَاتِ.
Abu Wa'il narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: On the night of meeting with the jinn, I was with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) went to them and recited the Qur'an before them. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In a part of the night, the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked me: "O Ibn Mas'ud! Do you have water with you?" I replied: "No! By Allah! O Messenger of Allah! I have only nabidh in the vessel." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Dates are pure and their water is purifying." Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed ablution with it. The narrator named Husayn bin Ubaydullah used to fabricate narrations from trustworthy narrators and narrate them from himself.
