Hadith 95

(The books) ‘Al Basaair’ and ‘Dalail Al Aimma’ of Al Tabari – From Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Bilad, from Sadeyr Al Sayrafi who said, ‘Abu Ja’far-asws sent me regarding some needs of his-asws at Al-Medina. While I was in a mountain pass of Al-Rawha upon my riding animal when a gestured towards me with his cloth. I inclined towards him and thought he might be thirsty, and I gave him the cure (water). He said, ‘There is no need for me with it’. Then he gave me a letter, its texture was wet (ink). When I looked at its seal, it was a seal of Abu Ja’far-asws. I said to him, ‘When did the owner of the letter pact to you? ’ He said, ‘Just now’. There were things in it instructing me with it’. Then he (the narrator said), ‘I turned around and there wasn’t anyone with me. So, I proceeded to Abu Ja’far-asws and met him. I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! A man came to me with your-asws letter, and its texture was wet’ (ink). When there is haste for us-asws with a matter, I-asws send one of them’ – meaning the Jinn’. And there is an increase in it by Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, by this chain: ‘O Sadeyr! For us‑asws there are servants from the Jinn. Whenever we-asws want quickness, we-asws send them regarding it’’.
