كُنْتُ عِنْدَ حَوْضِ زَمْزَمَ فَأَتَانِي رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لِي لَا تَشْرَبْ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَاءِ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ فَإِنَّ هَذَا يَشْتَرِكُ فِيهِ الْجِنُّ وَ الْإِنْسُ وَ هَذَا لَا يَشْتَرِكُ فِيهِ إِلَّا الْإِنْسُ قَالَ فَتَعَجَّبْتُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ وَ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَيْنَ عَلِمَ هَذَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) مَا كَانَ مِنْ قَوْلِ الرَّجُلِ لِي فَقَالَ ( عليه السلام ) لِي إِنَّ ذَلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ أَرَادَ إِرْشَادَكَ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Zakariyya Al Momin, from Abu Saeed Al Mukary, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly who said, ‘I was at the fountain of <span class="iTxt">Zamzam</span>, and a man came over to me, so he said to me, ‘Do not drink from this water, O Abu Hamza, for in this the Jinn and the humans participate in it, and this is not for the participation in it except for the human beings’. So I was surprised from his speech, and I said (to myself), ‘From where does he know this?’ Then I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> what was from the speech of the man to me, so he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘That man is from the Jinn intending to guide you’.
