أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: مَا " قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْجِنِّ وَلَا رَآهُمُ، انْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي طَائِفَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَامِدِينَ إِلَى سُوقِ عُكَاظٍ وَقَدْ حِيلَ بَيْنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ وَأُرْسِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّهُبُ، فَرَجَعَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِمْ، فَقَالُوا: مَا لَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: قَدْ حِيلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ، وَأُرْسِلَتْ عَلَيْنَا الشُّهُبُ، قَالُوا: مَا حَالَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ إِلَّا شَيْءٌ حَدَثَ فَاضْرِبُوا مَشَارِقَ الْأَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبَهَا وَانْظُرُوا مَا هَذَا الَّذِي حَالَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ فَانْصَرَفَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ تَوَجَّهُوا نَحْوَ تِهَامَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ بِنَخْلَةَ عَامِدِينَ إِلَى سُوقِ عُكَاظٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا الْقُرْآنَ اسْتَمَعُوا لَهُ وَقَالُوا: وَاللهِ هَذَا الَّذِي حَالَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ فَهُنَالِكَ رَجَعُوا إِلَى قَوْمِهِمْ قَالُوا: يَا قَوْمَنَا {إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا} [الجن: ٢] فَأَنْزَلَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ {قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ} [الجن: ١] " وَإِنَّمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ قَوْلُ الْجِنِّ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ مُسَدَّدٍ وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ بْنِ فَرُّوخَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) neither recited the Qur'an to the jinn nor saw them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was going with a group of his Companions towards the market of Ukaz. In those days the devils had been prevented from obtaining the news of the heavens, and shooting flames had begun to strike them. When the devils returned to their people, they asked: "What is the news?" They said: "The news of the heavens has been blocked from us, and flames have been showered upon us." They said: "The reason the news of the heavens has been blocked from you seems to be some new event. Go about the east and west of the earth and see what new thing has happened because of which the news of the heaven has been blocked from you." Hearing this, they spread out in all directions. Those jinn among them who had set out towards Tihamah reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). At that time he was in the valley of "Nakhlah", intending to go to the market of Ukaz. He was leading the Companions in the Fajr prayer. When those jinn heard the Qur'an, they listened attentively and said: "By Allah! This is the thing that has come between us and the news of the heaven." When they returned to their people, they said: "Brothers! We have heard a wondrous Qur'an; it guides to the right path, so we have believed in it, and we will never associate anyone with our Lord" [Surah al-Jinn: 1-2]. Then Allah Almighty revealed Surah al-Jinn to His Prophet, and it was the speech of the jinn that was revealed to him.
