Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ نا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ نَظَرَ إِلَى نَاسٍ مِنَ الزُّطِّ فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ أَشْبَهُ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ بِالْجِنِّ يَعْنِي لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ وَهَذَا اللَّفْظُ لَا نَعْلَمُهُ يُرْوَى إِلَّا عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ أَشْبَهُ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ بِالْجِنِّ يَعْنِي لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ وَهَذَا اللَّفْظُ لَا نَعْلَمُهُ يُرْوَى إِلَّا عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
