حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ فِي هَذِهِ الآيَةِ ‏{‏الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمِ الْوَسِيلَةَ‏}‏ قَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ ‏{‏كَانُوا‏}‏ يُعْبَدُونَ فَأَسْلَمُوا‏.‏

Narrated `Abdullah:

Regarding the Verse: 'Those whom they call upon (worship) (like Jesus the Son of Mary or angels etc.) desire (for themselves) means of access, to their Lord....' (17.57) (It was revealed regarding) some Jinns who used to be worshipped (by human beings). They later embraced Islam (while those people kept on worshipping them).

‘আবদুল্লাহ্ (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিতঃ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ الْوَسِيلَةَ এ আয়াতটি সম্পর্কে বলেন, কিছু লোক জিনের পূজা করত। পরে জিনগুলো ইসলাম ধর্ম গ্রহণ করল। তাদের ব্যাপারে এ আয়াত নাযিল হয়েছে। [৪৭১৪] (আ.প্র. ৪৩৫৪, ই.ফা. ৪৩৫৬)
