Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Hassa’n from Ibrahim ibn ’Isma‘il from ibn Jabal who has said the following. “Once we were in front of the door of the house of abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) that a people who looked Indian gypsies came out with loin clothe and covering on them.

We asked abu ‘‘Abdallah (a.s.) about them and he said, “They were your brethren from Jinns.” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (4/292))
