Islamic Stories - Story of a Jinn

The well-known scholar Khateeb has stated on the authority of Hadhrat
Jabir bin Abdullah who stated: "Once, we were travelling with the
Prophet (SAW). The Prophet was sitting under a tree for taking rest.
All of a sudden, there came a snake near him, took his mouth near the
hole of his ear. After sometime, the Prophet took his mouth near its
ear and said something. On that, the snake vanished in such away as if
the earth had swallowed it. We submitted to the Prophet that we were
very much frightened when you let it reach near your ear. The Prophet
told that it was an animal and in fact, it was a jinn who had
forgotten a few verses of such and such Surah and the jinns had sent
it to inquire about the same verses. Because of your presence, he came
changing its form to thatof a snake and inquired about the verses
accordingly. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->
