An ifrit of the jinn seeks the Prophet on the Night Journey

Al-Muwatta relates from Yahya ibn Sa'id that he said: the Prophet ﷺ was taken on the night journey and saw an ifrit of the jinn seeking him with a flame; whenever the Prophet turned he saw it. Jibril said to him: shall I not teach you words to say, so that if you say them its flame is extinguished and it falls on its face? The Prophet said: yes. Jibril said: say: I seek refuge in the face of God the Generous and in God's perfect words which no righteous or wicked person can overstep, from the evil of what descends from heaven and what ascends in it and what is scattered on earth, and from the trials of night and day, and from the night visitors except one who brings good ¹ Muwatta 31:2738.

In this report the jinn waylay travellers, and seeking refuge in God's perfect words is among the greatest means of quenching their evil; it is among the texts where jinn, men and angels meet in the books of the Sunna ¹.

Among the clearest texts of the jinn, the Prophet and the angels meeting in the Muwatta; this browser shows it in the jinn, devils and angels sections ¹.
