حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ تَلِجُوا عَلَى الْمُغِيبَاتِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ " . قُلْنَا وَمِنْكَ قَالَ " وَمِنِّي وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي مُجَالِدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ . وَسَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ خَشْرَمٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ فِي تَفْسِيرِ قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمُ " . يَعْنِي أَسْلَمُ أَنَا مِنْهُ . قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَالشَّيْطَانُ لاَ يُسْلِمُ . وَ " لاَ تَلِجُوا عَلَى الْمُغِيبَاتِ " وَالْمُغِيبَةُ الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي يَكُونُ زَوْجُهَا غَائِبًا وَالْمُغِيبَاتُ جَمَاعَةُ الْمُغِيبَةِ .

Nasr ibn Ali narrated to us: Isa ibn Yunus narrated to us, from Mujalid, from al-Sha'bi, from Jabir, from the Prophet, who said: Do not enter upon women whose husbands are away, for Satan flows through each of you like blood. We said: Even you, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Even me, but Allah has helped me against him, so I am safe from him. Abu Isa said: This hadith is gharib through this route. Some critics questioned Mujalid ibn Sa'id because of his memory. Ali ibn Khashram said: I heard Sufyan ibn Uyaynah explain the Prophet's words, “Allah has helped me against him, so I am safe from him,” to mean, “I am safe from him.” Sufyan said: Satan does not become Muslim. “Women whose husbands are away” means women whose husbands are absent; the plural refers to several such women.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report gives two possible understandings of aslama: that the Prophet was protected from Satan, or that Satan submitted. Sufyan rejects the latter reading.
