And [mention, O Muhammad], when We directed to you a few of the jinn, listening to the Qur'an. And when they attended it, they said, "Listen quietly." And when it was concluded, they went back to their people as warners.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
Remember, O Messenger, when I sent to you a group of the jinn to listen to the Qur’ān that was revealed to you. When they came to hear it they said to one another: Be quiet, so that we are able to hear it. When the Messenger (peace be upon him) completed his recitation they went back to their people to warn them of Allah’s punishment if they do not have faith in this Qur’ān.
