Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَهْوَازِيُّ قَالَ نا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوا أَنْصِتُوا قَالَ صَهٍ قَالَ فَكَانُوا سَبْعَةً أَكْبَرُهُمْ زَوْبَعَةُ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَدْ رَفَعَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَبَعْضُهُمْ لَمْ يَقُلْ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ زِرٍّ وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوا أَنْصِتُوا قَالَ صَهٍ قَالَ فَكَانُوا سَبْعَةً أَكْبَرُهُمْ زَوْبَعَةُ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَدْ رَفَعَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَبَعْضُهُمْ لَمْ يَقُلْ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
English Translation
Ahmad ibn Ishaq al-Ahwazi narrated to us, he said: Abu Ahmad narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Asim, from Zirr: 'And [mention] when We directed to you a few of the jinn, listening to the Quran. When they attended it, they said: Listen quietly.' He said: Be silent. He said: They were seven, the eldest of them was Zuba'ah. This hadith — some of the students of Abu Ahmad attributed it to Abdullah, while some of them did not say 'from Abdullah,' only 'from Zirr.'
