حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ لَقِيتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتَ قُلْتُ مَسْرُوقُ بْنُ الْأَجْدَعِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الْأَجْدُعُ شَيْطَانٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4957
Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: Masruq said: I met Umar ibn al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) who said: Who are you? I replied: Masruq ibn al-Ajda'. Umar then said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: al-Ajda' (mutilated) is a devil.
