The answer

The in question is weak and not authentic due to its numerous defects. Among them are the unknown identity of Umm Hamid, the deception (tadlis) of Abd al-Malik ibn Jurayj, and the weakness of his father, Abd al-Aziz. Its meaning revolves around the jinn sharing in a person's child, and this could carry several interpretations: neglecting the remembrance of Allah during intercourse, or Satan tempting a person to commit fornication, or Satan conveying information to soothsayers. These individuals were called "mugharribin" (strangers/foreigners) due to a foreign lineage entering into them or their coming from a distant ancestry.
