شَكَا رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَالَ أَخْرَجَتْنَا الْجِنُّ عَنْ مَنَازِلِنَا فَقَالَ اجْعَلُوا سُقُوفَ بُيُوتِكُمْ سَبْعَةَ أَذْرُعٍ وَ اجْعَلُوا الْحَمَامَ فِي أَكْنَافِ الدَّارِ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَفَعَلْنَا ذَلِكَ فَمَا رَأَيْنَا شَيْئاً نَكْرَهُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Hamza Bin Humran who said, ‘A man complained to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> and said: ‘The Jinn have made us to exit our house’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Make the ceilings of our houses of seven cubits, and make the bathroom in the fringes of the house’. The man said, ‘So we did that and we did not see anything we disliked after that’.
