[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, a group of jinn from the city have embraced Islam. So if you see any of them, warn them three times. Then if it seems appropriate to you to kill him, then kill him after three times."

الكبرى للنسائي:١٠٧٤٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ صَيْفِيٍّ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى الْأَنْصَارِ عَنْ أَبِي السَّائِبِ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَسْلَمُوا فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ فَحَذِّرُوهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ إِنْ بَدَا لَكُمْ أَنْ تَقْتُلُوهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ»

There is a group of jinns in Medina who accepted Islam, so he who would see anything from these occupants should warn him three times; and if he appears after that, he should kill him for he is a satan.

مسلم:٢٢٣٦c – وَحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ حَدَّثَنِي صَيْفِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِي السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ قَدْ أَسْلَمُوا فَمَنْ رَأَى شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْعَوَامِرِ فَلْيُؤْذِنْهُ ثَلاَثًا فَإِنْ بَدَا لَهُ بَعْدُ فَلْيَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ

"إِنَّ نَفَرًا من الجنِّ أَسْلَمُوا بالمدينةِ؛ فَإِذَا رأَيُتم أَحَدًا منْهم فَخُذُوهُ ثلاث مَرَّات، ثم إِنَّ بَدَا لكُم بَعْدَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُوهُ، فاقتلوه بعدَ الثلاثِ".
