Takhrij Hadith 565: "One night, the Messenger of…"

One night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was telling his wives a story. One of the women among them said: “O Messenger of Allah, this story sounds just like a Khurafah (superstition) story!” He said: “Do you know what Khurafah is? Khurafah was actually a man from the tribe of Udhrah. The Jinn captured him during the pre-Islamic days of ignorance, and he stayed among them for a very long time. Then, they returned him to mankind. He used to tell people about the wondrous and amazing things he had seen among the Jinn, so the people began to say: [This is] a Khurafah story”.
