حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ وَفُضَيْلُ بْنُ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ السُّکَّرِيُّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ کَثِيرِ بْنِ شِنْظِيرٍ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ وَاکْفِتُوا صِبْيَانَکُمْ عِنْدَ الْعِشَائِ وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ عِنْدَ الْمَسَائِ فَإِنَّ لِلْجِنِّ انْتِشَارًا وَخَطْفَةً
