I seek the
protection of Allah from the accursed Shayṭān. Allah, there is no god worthy of
worship but He, the Ever Living, The Sustainer of all. Neither drowsiness
overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him Alone belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except with His
permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they
encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī
extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not tire
Him. And He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (2:255)

Ubayy b. Kaʿb (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) reported
that he had a vessel in which he kept dates. He found that its quantity was
decreasing. So he kept guard on it one night and saw a creature that resembled
an adolescent boy. Ubayy greeted him and he returned his greeting. Ubayy then
asked him, “What are you, a jinnī or a human?” He replied, “A jinnī.” So he
said to him, “Show me your hand.” So he showed him his hand, and it looked like
a dog’s paw with dog’s fur. He said, “This is how the jinn are created. The
jinn know that there is no one amongst them who is stronger than me.”
Ubayy asked him, “What caused you to do what
you did?” He replied, “We heard that you are a man who loves charity, and we
came to take our share from your food.’” Ubayy asked him, “What will protect us
from you?” He replied, “Reading Āyah al-Kursī from Sūrah al-Baqarah [i.e. the
verse above]. If you read it in the morning, you will be protected from us till
the evening. And if you read it in the evening, you will be protected from us
till the morning.”
Ubayy said: “The following morning, I went to
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him about
what had happened. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The evil one spoke the truth.”
