حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَفُضَيْلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ السُّكَّرِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ شِنْظِيرٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، رَفَعَهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَاكْفِتُوا صِبْيَانَكُمْ عِنْدَ الْعِشَاءِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ ‏"‏ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ ‏"‏ ‏"‏ فَإِنَّ لِلْجِنِّ انْتِشَارًا وَخَطْفَةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏
