The Shaykh Mashhur told me a story about one of the people. He said this man actually said that he found gold there, and the jinn said to him, “We are the ones who give you this.”

The questioner : One person told me a story, though he has no knowledge, but I asked...The Shaykh : Mashhur, so the Shaykh Mashhur told me a story about one of the people. He said this man actually said that he found gold there, and the jinn said to him, “We are the ones who give you this. We have a reserve, as they say, and we will not give you this money until you commit disbelief.”

The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah, as it came in the Qur'an.

The questioner : So this man refused, he refused. And he says to me that this man, while he is praying, sees the jinn, meaning they exert their power over him and continue to invalidate it. They take on forms to distract him in his prayer. And I have heard this from many people, that the jinn appear to some people. Is this possible?

The Shaykh : It is possible that they appear, but not in their true form.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Meaning they take on the form of people, they take on the form of people, they take on the form of some snakes.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : And vipers.

The questioner : Now, our Shaykh, a very strange phenomenon has appeared in the country.
