ما مدى صحة قصة مقتل سعد بن عبادة على يد الجن؟

The story of the jinn killing Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah is famous in books of biography and history, but it is not authentic according to the standards of hadith scholars. This story was transmitted as mursal from Ibn Sirin, and its narrators are trustworthy. It was also transmitted from Muhammad ibn 'A'idh from 'Abd al-A'la, and in addition to being mu'dal, 'Abd al-A'la is an unknown narrator.
