حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَكَّائِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ وُكِّلَ بِهِ قَرِينُهُ مِنْ الْجِنِّ قَالُوا وَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَأَنَا إِلَّا أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمَ فَلَيْسَ يَأْمُرُنِي إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4392
It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said; "There is no one among you who has not been allocated his companion from among the jinn." They said: Even you, O Messaiger of Allah? He said: "Even me, but Allah helped me against him and he became Muslim, so he does not tell me to do anything except that which is good."
