Is it possible to pray for our Jinn to become a Muslim?.
The hadeeth you mention is a saheeh hadeeth.
It was narrated by Muslim (no. 2714), but there is a difference of scholarly opinion as to the meaning of the word “fa aslama” in this
hadeeth. This dispute and the most correct view was mentioned by al-Nawawi in his commentary on this hadeeth. He said:
With regard to the words of the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “There is none of you who does not have a companion (qareen) appointed for him from among the
jinn.” They said, “Even you?” He said, “Even me, but Allaah helped me against him fa aslama [or fa aslamu], so he only tells me to
do that which is good.”
There are two well-known views that have been
reported. Those who read the phrase as fa aslamu said that it means, “So I am safe [aslamu] from his evil and temptation.” Those who
read it as fa aslama said that it means, “The qareen became Muslim [aslama] and became a believer, so he only tells me to do that
which is good.”
They differed as to which view is correct.
Al-Khattaabi said: The correct version is fa aslamu [so I am safe]. Al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad thought that fa aslama [so he became Muslim] was
correct, and this is the preferred version, because he then said, “so he only tells me to do that which is good.” And they differed concerning the
report that says fa aslama. It was said that it means he submitted in the sense of surrendering, and it appears in this form (fa
astaslama – so he surrendered) in reports narrated elsewhere than in Saheeh Muslim. And it was said that it means that he become a
Muslim and a believer. This is the apparent meaning.
Abu Na’eem al-Asbahaani said in Dalaa’il
al-Nubuwwah (1/185): It was said aslama meaning he believed. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the only
one whose qareen became a Muslim and a believer.
Based on this, having one’s qareen become a
Muslim was something that was unique to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
So it is not prescribed for the Muslim to
pray that his qareen become Muslim, because this is overstepping the limits in du’aa’ by asking Allaah for something that belongs only to the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and because there is no report that the Sahaabah, who were the keenest of all people to
do good and the closest to it, asked Allaah to make their qareens become Muslim, and they did not ask the Messenger (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) to pray for that for them when they heard this hadeeth from him. There is no report that Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmaan and ‘Ali,
who were very keen to do good, or their sons, did that. We have to follow the guidance of these great Sahaabah because they understood this
religion properly and learned it directly from its source, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and it is not
permissible for us to follow any path but theirs. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And whoever contradicts and opposes the
Messenger (Muhammad) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers’ way, We shall keep him in the path
he has chosen, and burn him in Hell — what an evil destination!”
[al-Nisa’ 4:115]
This hadeeth was narrated in the context of warning the Sahaabah against the fitnah of the
qareen. Al-Nawawi said: This hadeeth is a warning against the fitnah of the qareen and his whispers and temptation. [The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him)] warned us against him so that we can be as cautious as possible.” This is what we must do, according to
sharee’ah.
It is sufficient for us to recite the du’aa’s
that Allaah has taught us, for example:
“And say: ‘My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the whisperings (suggestions) of the
Shayaateen (devils).
And I seek refuge with You, My Lord! lest
they should come near me’”
[al-Mu’minoon 23:97-98 – interpretation of
the meaning]
And you should recite Soorat al-Ikhlaas and
the Mi’wadhatayn (the last two soorahs of the Qur’aan) morning and evening, as well as the dhikrs narrated in saheeh ahaadeeth from the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). You should also recite Aayat al-Kursiy before going to sleep, and Bismillaah il-Rahmaan
il-Raheem before doing anything, and you should seek refuge with Allaah every time you notice the whispers of the Shaytaan. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“And if an evil whisper from Shaytaan
(Satan) tries to turn you away (O Muhammad) (from doing good), then seek refuge in Allaah. Verily, He is the All‑Hearer, the All‑Knower”
[Fussilat 41:36]
I ask Allaah to make you more keen to do good and to protect us and you from the Shaytaan and
his whisperings. Ameen.
