مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4381
It was narrated that 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ood said: Whilst we were with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) in Makkah, and he was with a group of his companions, he said: "Let one of you come with me, and let no one come with me but a man in whose heart is not even an atom's weight of dishonesty." So I got up to go with him, and I took a vessel with me, not thinki n g that it contained anything but water. I set out with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) until, when we were in the upper part of Makkah, I saw some shadows gathered together. The Messenger of Allah drew a line for me then he said: "Stay here until I come to you." So I stayed and the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) went to them and I saw them crowding around him. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) spoke with them all night long, then he came to me at dawn and he said to me: "Are you still here, O Ibn Mas'ood?" I said: O Messenger of Allah, did you not tell me. Stay here until I come to you? Then he said to me: you have any water for wudoo'?" I said: yes. Then I opened the vessel and saw that it was nabeedh (a drink made by soaking dates in water). I said to him: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah when I picked up the vessel I did not think that it contained anything but water, but it turned out to be nabeedh. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Good dates and pure water." Then he did wudoo' with it, and when he stood up to pray, two of them came to him and said to him O Messenger of Allah , we would like you to lead us in our prayer. So the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) made them stand in a row behind him then he led us in prayer. When he finished I said to him: Who are these, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "These are the jinn of Naseebeen; they came to me concerning a dispute about some of their affairs. And they asked me for provision, so i granted them provision." I said to him: O Messenger of Allah, do you have anything that you could grant to them as provision? He said: "I granted them excrement; whatever they find of dung they will find it like barley, and whatever they find of bones, they will find them with meat on them." And at that time the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) forbade cleaning oneself (after relieving oneself) with dung or bones
