وَعَنْ مَعْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ مَسْرُوقًا: مَنْ آذَنَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْجِنِّ لَيْلَةَ اسْتَمَعُوا الْقُرْآنَ؟ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُوكَ يَعْنِي عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ابْن مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: آذَنَتْ بِهِمْ شَجَرَةٌ. مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ

Ma’n b. ‘Abd ar-Rahman told of hearing his father say he had asked Masruq, who told the Prophet about the jinn on the night they listened to the Quran, and he replied, “Your father (meaning ‘Abdallah b. Mas’ud) told me that he said a tree told about them.” (Bukhari and Muslim).
