The Jinn That Brought the News

Sawad ibn Qarib’s conversion was attended by a singular sign. His jinn-companion came to him on three successive nights — urging him to seek out the Prophet ﷺ in Madinah and bear witness to him. 1 Hayatus Sahaba · Vol 3 · pp. — — Kandhlawi — the sub-chapter on Sawad ibn Qarib: the jinn-companion's announcement of the Prophet's ﷺ mission.

He came to the Prophet ﷺ, recited the verses he had composed in testimony, and entered into Islam. 2 Hayatus Sahaba · Vol 3 · pp. — — Kandhlawi — Sawad ibn Qarib recites his testifying verses before the Prophet ﷺ.
