حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ خُفِّفَ عَلَی دَاوُدَ الْقِرَائَةُ فَکَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِدَابَّتِهِ لِتُسْرَجَ فَکَانَ يَقْرَأُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَفْرُغَ يَعْنِي الْقُرْآنَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4715
Narrated `Abdullah: Regarding the Verse: 'Those whom they call upon (worship) (like Jesus the Son of Mary or angels etc.) desire (for themselves) means of access, to their Lord....' (17.57) (It was revealed regarding) some Jinns who used to be worshipped (by human beings). They later embraced Islam (while those people kept on worshipping them).
