Hadith 107

And from Muaz Bin Jabal (well-known hypocrite) who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww gave me the charity dates. I made these to be in a room of mine. Every day I found less in it, so I complained of that to Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww said to me: ‘it is the work of Satan-la, so lay in wait to him-la. I laid in wait one night. When most of the night had gone, he‑la came upon an image of the elephant. When he-la ended to the door, he entered from the crack of the door upon other than his-la image. He-la went near the dates and went on to gnaw it. I tightened my clothes and interceded him-la. I said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww! O enemy of Allah‑azwj, you-la have pounced at the charity dates and took it, and I was more rightful with it than you-la are! I shall raise you-la (your-la) matter to Rasool-Allah-saww and expose you! ’
He-la made a pact with me that he-la will not repeat. In the morning I went to Rasool-Allah-as. He-saww said: ‘What did your prisoner do? ’ I said, ‘He-la made a pact with me that he will not repeat’. He-saww said: ‘He-la will return, so lay in wait for him-la’. I lied in wait for the second night. He-la did similar to that. He-la made a pact with me that he‑la will not repeat, so I freed his way. Then in the morning I went to Rasool-Allah-saww and informed him-saww. He-saww said: ‘He-la will return, so lie in wait’. I lied in wait for the third night. He-la did similar to that and I did similar to that. I said, ‘O enemy of Allah-azwj! You-la had made a pact with me twice, and this is the third! ’ He-la said, ‘I‑la am with dependants and I-la did not come to you except from Nasibeyn and had I-la found something less than it, I-la would not have come to you. And we were in this city of yours until your companion (Rasool-Allah-saww) was Sent. When two Verses were Revealed upon him-saww we fled from these, and we came to Nasibeyn and these two (Verses) will not be recited in any house except Satan-la would not permeate in it for three (days). If you were to free my-la, I-la shall teach these two to you’. I said, ‘Yes’. He-saww said: ‘Ayat Al Kursy (2: 255) and the last of Surah Al Baqarah: “The Rasool [2: 285] – up to the end of it’. So, I freed his-la way, then in the morning I went to Rasool-Allah-saww and informed him-saww with what he-la had said. He-saww said: ‘The wicked one spoke the truth, and (although) he-la is a liar! ’
He (Muaz) said, ‘I used to read these two to him-la, and I did not find any loss regarding him‑la’’. [118] (non-Shia source)
