Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, is the hadith "When the ghaylān swarm, hasten with the adhan" authentic?
Answer:
This is a well-known hadith among the scholars of knowledge. As for its grade of authenticity, I do not know it right now, but it is well-known among the scholars of knowledge, and its meaning is correct. Its meaning is certainly correct, because the ghaylān are jinn, and the adhan is the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and the remembrance of Allah drives away the jinn. Yes. And if they sing,[Al-A'raf 7:200] the remembrance of Allah undoubtedly drives away the jinn, and the ghaylān are jinn. The ghaylān are called the sa'ālī of the jinn.
