Musnad Ahmad 1435 (Book 7, Hadith 28) #35054
Jinn Listening to Quran Recitation

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Jinn listening to the recitation of the Quran by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during his Isha prayer in Nakhlah.

'Urwah said: I heard 'lkrimah (recite): "And (remember) when We sent towards you (Muhammad " 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 was praying Isha', 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".
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَسَمِعْتُ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏{‏وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ‏}‏ وَقُرِئَ عَلَى سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ نَفَرًا مِنْ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ بِنَخْلَةَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ كَاللِّبَدِ بَعْضُهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ‏.‏
