Concerning the words of the jinn, "And when the servant of Allah stood calling upon Him, they crowded close around him" [Jinn 72:19], he explained that when they saw him praying with his companions, and they prayed as he prayed, bowed when he bowed, and prostrated when he prostrated, they marveled at how obediently his companions followed him. So when they returned to their people they said that when the servant of Allah, meaning the Prophet ﷺ, stood calling upon Him, they crowded close around him.
حدثنا مؤمل قال أبو عوانة حدثنا أبو بشر عن سعيد بن جبير
في قول الجن {وأنه لما قام عبد الله يدعوه كادوا يكونون عليه لبدا} قال لما رأوه يصلي بأصحابه ويصلون بصلاته ويركعون بركوعه ويسجدون بسجوده تعجبوا من طواعية أصحابه له فلما رجعوا إلى قومهم قالوا إنه لما قام عبد الله يعني النبي ﷺ يدعوه كادوا يكونون عليه لبدا
Its isnad is sahih. Tirmidhi narrated it, 4/207-208, and made it a continuation of the hadith that preceded it, numbered 2271, and said, "A hasan sahih hadith." Ibn Kathir quoted it in his tafsir, 9/19-20, from the narration of Tabari via Abu Awana. Suyuti, in Durr Manthur 6/275, also attributed it to Abd bin Humayd, to Hakim, who graded it sahih, to Ibn Mardawayh, and to Diya in Mukhtara.As for the recitation, Nafi and Abu Bakr read it with a kasra on the hamza, while the rest of the seven read it with a fatha. As for "lubada," Hisham read it with a damma on the lam, while the rest read it with a kasra. See Taysir, 215.Abu Hayan said in Bahr 8/353, "The majority read 'lubada' with a kasra on the lam and a fatha on the ba, as the plural of 'libda,' like 'kisra' and 'kisar,' meaning groups, likened to something piled up layer upon layer... Mujahid, Ibn Muhaysin, and Ibn Amir, according to one report from him, read it with a damma on the lam, as the plural of 'lubda,' like 'zubra' and 'zubar.'"See also 1435, 2271, 2482.
