Allah says that the Jinns said about themselves,
[وَأَنَّا مِنَّا
الصَّـلِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَلِكَ]
(There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary;) meaning,
other than that.
[كُنَّا طَرَآئِقَ
قِدَداً]
(We are groups having different ways.) meaning, on numerous differing paths
and having different thoughts and opinions. Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and others have
said,
[كُنَّا طَرَآئِقَ
قِدَداً]
(We are groups having different ways.) "This means among us are believers and
among us are disbelievers.'' Ahmad bin Sulayman An-Najjad reported in his (book
of) Amali that he heard Al-A`mash saying, "A Jinn came to us, so I said to him,
`What is the most beloved food to your kind' He replied, `Rice.' So we brought
them some rice and I saw the morsels being lifted but I did not see a hand
lifting it. So I asked him, `Do you have these desires (religious innovations)
among your kind as we have among ours' He replied, `Yes.' Then I said, `Who are
the Rafidah among you' He said, `They are the worst of us.''' I presented this
chain of narration to our Shaykh, Al-Hafiz Abi Al-Hajjaj Al-Mizzi and he said
its chain is authentic to Al-A`mash.
