Hadith And Sunna Of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh)

The First Muslim Jinn

Allah says:
"(Some jinn said:) 'There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary; we are groups, each having a different way (religious sects, etc.)'" (72:11)
.
The story of how the first jinns of this ummah became Muslims was narrated by 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Abbas, who said: "The Prophet (pbuh) went out with a group of his Companions heading for the marketplace of 'Ukaaz. This was when the Shaitan were prevented from getting any news from heaven, and shooting stars had been sent against them.
.
The Shaitan went back to their people, said, 'What is the matter with you?' They said: 'We cannot get news from heaven, and shooting stars were sent against us.'
Their people said: 'Nothing is stopping you from hearing news from heaven except some new event that must have happened. Go and look in the east and the west of the earth, and see if you can find out what it is that is stopping you from hearing news from heaven.'
.
Those who went out in the direction of Tihaamah came upon the Prophet (pbuh) in Nakhlah, when he was on his way to 'Ukaaz, and found him leading his Companions in Fajr prayer. When they heard the Qur'aan, they listened to it and said: 'By Allaah, this is what is stopping us from hearing news from heaven.'
.
When they went back to their people, they said, ''O our people, we have heard a wonderful Recital (the Qur'aan). It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join (in worship) anything with our Lord (Allah)." (72:2) (al-Bukhaari, 731)
