Omar Wrestles With a Jinn Whose Arms Are Like Those of a Dog and Whose Gait Is Like That of a Donkey

Omar wrestles with a jinn whose arms are like those of a dog and whose gait is like that of a donkey. He defeats him and asks him for a second round!!

It was narrated that Omar wrestled with a jinn and Omar, may Allah be pleased with him, defeated him. The jinn said to him: Leave me alone so that I can teach you what you can use to protect yourself from us. So he left him alone and asked him, and he said: You protect yourself from us with the Ayat al-Kursi. I said: This is authentic.

In Musnad Al-Darimi, Abu Muhammad said: Al-Sha’bi said: Abdullah bin Mas’ud said : A man from the companions of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, met a man from the jinn and wrestled with him, but the human defeated him. The human said to him: I see you as weak and weak, as if your forelegs were the forelegs of a dog. Is that how you are, O group of jinn? Or are you among them? He said: No, by Allah, I am one of them, but come back to me a second time, and if you defeat me, I will teach you something that will benefit you. He said: Yes. So he defeated him. He said: Do you recite Ayat al-Kursi: “Allah - there is no god but He, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining”? He said: Yes. He said: You do not recite it in a house except that Satan leaves it, stomping like a donkey, and he does not enter it until morning . Narrated by Abu Nuaym on the authority of Abu Asim al-Thaqafi on the authority of al-Shabi. Abu Ubaidah mentioned it in Gharib Hadith Umar. Abu Muawiyah narrated it to us on the authority of Abu Asim al-Thaqafi on the authority of al-Shabi on the authority of Abdullah, who said: It was said to Abdullah: Is he Umar? He said: It could be none other than `Umar. Abu Muhammad Ad-Darimi said: Ad-Dha’il means: the thin, Ash-Shakhit means: the emaciated, Ad-Dhale’ means: the one with good ribs, and Khabaj means: the wind. Abu Ubaidah said: Khabaj means: the fart, and it is also Habaj with a Ha.

The narration is not correct, as the chain of transmission is interrupted; because Al-Sha’bi did not hear from Abdullah bin Mas’ud - may Allah be pleased with him .

. Jacob wrestles with the Lord (God forbid) and defeats Him Gen. 32 24 So Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the break of dawn . 25 And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he struck the socket of Jacob’s thigh; and the socket of Jacob’s thigh was dislocated as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, “Let me go, for the dawn has broken.” But he said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 Then he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28 And he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed . ”
