Kitāb madhāhib al-Aʻrāb wa-falāsifat al-Islām fī al-jinn
Hadith scholar who transmits and qualifies al-Shāfiʻī's ruling on those who claim to see the jinn.
And the ḥāfiẓ Aḥmad Ibn Ḥajar transmitted in Fatḥ al-bārī from al-Bayhaqī in the Manāqib al-Shāfiʻī, with his chain from al-Rabīʻ, who said:
rather they do move, but not by any power of their own over it — rather by a sort of act which, when a man performs it, brings about the change, like magic (that is, sleight of hand).
al-Saʻādah fī falsafat al-akhlāq
Jurist whose Fatāwā is cited in the notes on the maxim's status.
It is rather from the words of Abū Bakr al-Rāzī, as in al-Durar al-Muntatharah of al-Suyūṭī and the Fatāwā of Ibn Ḥajar.
