Aya 29
29
وَإِذ صَرَفنا إِلَيكَ نَفَرًا مِنَ الجِنِّ يَستَمِعونَ القُرآنَ فَلَمّا حَضَروهُ قالوا أَنصِتوا ۖ فَلَمّا قُضِيَ وَلَّوا إِلىٰ قَومِهِم مُنذِرينَ

Ali Unal

We directed a company of jinn towards you in order that they might listen to the Qur’ān (while you were reciting of it). When they were present for it, they said (to one another): “Be silent and listen!” When the recitation finished, they returned to their community as warners.1
  • This happened in Batn an-Nakhlah, outside Makkah, while God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, was doing Prayer on his return to Makkah from his journey to Tā’if.
