وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَآ إِلَيْكَ نَفَراً مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ ٱلْقُرْآنَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوۤاْ أَنصِتُواْ فَلَمَّا قُضِيَ وَلَّوْاْ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

And, mention, when We sent a company of jinn your way — the jinn of Nasībīn in Yemen, or the jinn of Nineveh, who were seven or nine, [and this was] while the Prophet (s) was leading the dawn prayer with some of his Companions at Batn Nakhla, as reported by the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim] — to listen to the Qur’ān and, when they were in its presence, they said, that is, they said to one another: ‘Listen carefully!’, concentrate in order to hear it [carefully]. Then, when it was finished, [when] he was finished reciting it, they went back to their people to warn [them], to threaten their people with the chastisement [from God] if they do not believe — they had been Jews, but then become Muslims.
