حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَسَمِعْتُ عِكْرِمَةَ
«وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ» وَقُرِئَ عَلَى سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ نَفَرًا مِنْ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ بِنَخْلَةَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ كَاللِّبَدِ بَعْضُهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ
I heard ‘lkrimah (recite): ‘And (remember) when We sent towards you (Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)’ and it was recited to Sufyan from Az-Zubayr, ‘a group (three to ten persons) of the jinn, (quietly) listening to the Qur’an’ (al-Ahqaf). Sufyan said: ‘They were one above the other, like thick masses of clouds one above the other.’’
