Tafsir Ibn Kathir -> Surah Al-Jinn -> Which was revealed in Makkah

﴿بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴾

(In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

﴿قُلْ أُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُواْ إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْءَانَاً عَجَباً - يَهْدِى إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَـَامَنَّا بِهِ وَلَن نُّشرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ أَحَداً - وَأَنَّهُ تَعَـلَى جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَـحِبَةً وَلاَ وَلَداً - وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطاً - وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ الإِنسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً - وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادوهُمْ رَهَقاً - وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّواْ كَمَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن لَّن يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَداً ﴾

(1. Say: "It has been revealed to me that a group of Jinn listened. They said: `Verily, we have heard a wonderful Recitation!') (2. `It guides to the right path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join anything with our Lord.') (3. `And He, exalted be the Jadd of our Lord, has taken neither a wife nor a son.') (4. `And that the foolish among us used to utter against Allah that which was an enormity in falsehood.') (5. `And verily, we thought that men and Jinn would not utter a lie against Allah.') (6. `And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the males among the Jinn, but they increased them in Rahaq.') (7. `And they thought as you thought, that Allah will not send any Messenger.')
