وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ فِي الْبَحْرِ شَيَاطِينَ مَسْجُونَةً أَوْثَقَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ، يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ فَتَقْرَأَ عَلَى النَّاسِ قُرْآنًا».
Translation: Muḥammad ibn Rāfiʿ narrated to me; ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us; Maʿmar informed us, from Ibn Ṭāwūs, from his father Ṭāwūs, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ, who said: “There are devils imprisoned in the sea whom Solomon bound. Soon they may come out and recite to people something they present as Qurʾān.”
Al-Nawawī explains “recite a Qurʾān to the people” here as counterfeit discourse misleadingly presented as Qurʾān, not the ordinary recital of genuine revelation. The passage is a Companion statement, not a direct Prophetic ḥadīth.
