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 " .

Jabir b.Abd Allah reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying:
Gather your children when darkness spreads, or in the evening (according to Musaddad), for the jinn are abroad and seize them.
