Jinns Appearing in Human Form >> Question

Is there any authentic Hadeeth which proves that Jinns (not just Iblis) are able to take human form? I only know of two from Bukhari or Muslim, but most people argue that those two refer to Iblis only & that this ability is only bestowed upon Iblis and not other Jinns.

There is also a Sunan al-Majaah hadeeth about Dajjal killing a person than ordering two Jinns to take the shape of that that dead person, in order to deceive other people by saying that he (dajjal) has reserructed the dead. I’ve read this many times, but cannot properly referrence it - one reason being that I cannot find any place on the internet where Sunan’s texts are available.

So, my questions are:

  1. Is there any website that provides Sunan’s Hadeeth (in full texts)?
  2. Is the hadeeth about the two Jinns taking human form authentic?
  3. What is your say on the first two Hadeeths (from Bukhari/Muslim)?

This is a good website to to do keyword search

Hadith.

I never thought of looking up any ahadith on the topic, but that's something that I've been hearing about Iblis. I haven't heard or come across anything to make me believe that Iblis is more powerful than any common jinn.

Its known as Masjid al-Jin, and is said to be built at the place where Jinns used to come to listen to Quranic recitations (i.e. by Prophet Mohammad).
Our prophet recited the Quran to not only humans, but also Jinns.

Re: Jinns Appearing in Human Form >> Question

I only believe on Jins since it is written in Quran they exist.

Otherwise I think they are not supposed to be seen by human being.

Many stories are spread by many people of their ‘revelations’ and many people have made tons of money at the expense of foolish people thinking someone had ‘jin’ in his possession and can tell everything or solve all their problems. Very sad that people get in to these traps by ‘pir’ or ‘wali’ or whatever.

Lots of Jin stories appear to be related to undiagnosed psychiatric illnessess…hallucinations or malancholia.

***Please do research on your own over the authenticity of these translations or hadiths cited on these sites.

The Noble Qur’an - Ar-Rahmaan 55:15, 15

He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery.
And the jinns did He create from a smokeless flame of fire.

Re: Jinns Appearing in Human Form >> Question

Jinns are as real as Ghosts or Spirits (FAKE!)
It's all medieval fiction

It is a good website, but similar to all such websites, it does not provide an english translation of Sunan Al-Majaah’s hadeeths. If somebody can provide his texts in english, I will be really grateful.

I know Jinns are created from a smokeless flame of fire (which is simple to estabilish), and that they are invisible (as are most smokeless flames - low luminousity), but my question was specific to whether they are capable of taking human form.

There is some proof in Bukhari/Muslim Hadeeth that at least one Jinn (as most people say it was Iblis) is capable of taking a visible form (original form cannot be seen because it is.. invisible). However I do not know for sure whether the Jinn in the hadeeth was Iblis or any other Jinn.

I am sorry I could not answer the question...and unable to do so. Its a good question and I am curious as well.

I commented on those events supposedly by people seeing Jinns.

Good luck.:)
