حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَسَمِعْتُ عِكْرِمَةَ وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَقُرِئَ عَلَى سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ نَفَرًا مِنْ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ بِنَخْلَةَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ كَاللِّبَدِ بَعْضُهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1435
'Urwah said: i heard Tkrimah [recite]: "And (remember) when We sent towards you (Muhammad (PBUH))" and it was recited to Sufyan from az-Zubair: "a group (three to ten persons) of the jinn, (quietly) listening to the Qur'an" [al-Ahqaf 46:29]. He said: [That was] in Nakhlah, The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was praying 'lsha' f and "they (the jinn) just made round him a dense crowd as if sticking one over the other (in order to listen to the Prophet's recitation)" [al-Jinn 72:19]. Sufyan said: They were one above the other, like thick masses of clouds one above the other.
