The Jinn (Meccan)

quran:72:1 – In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Say, ˹O Muhammad˺, "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur'an.  

Say, O Muhammad (s), to people: ‘It has been revealed to me, that is to say, I have been informed by way of revelation from God, exalted be He, that (annahu: the ˹suffixed˺ pronoun is that of the matter) a company of the jinn, the jinn of Nasībīn. This was at the time of the morning prayer at Batn Nakhla, a location between Mecca and Tā’if — these ˹jinn˺ being those mentioned in God’s saying, And when We sent a company of jinn your way…’ ˹Q. 46:29˺ — listened, to my recitation, then said, to their people upon returning to them: “We have indeed heard a marvellous Qur’ān, whose clarity, the richness of its meanings and other aspects one marvels at,
القرآن:٧٢:١ – بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا  

{قل} يا محمد للناس {أُحي إليَّ} أي أخبرت بالوحي من الله تعالى {أنه} الضمير للشأن {استمع} لقراءتي {نفر من الجن} جن نصيبين وذلك في صلاة الصبح ببطن نخل، موضوع بين مكة والطائف، وهم الذين ذكروا في قوله تعالى (وإذ صرفنا إليك نفرا من الجن) الآية {فقالوا} لقومهم لما رجعوا إليهم {إنا سمعنا قرآنا عجب} يتعجب منه في فصاحته وغزارة معانيه وغير ذلك.
quran:72:2 –

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.  

which guides to rectitude, to faith and propriety. Therefore we believe in it and we will never, after this day, associate anyone with our Lord.

يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا  

{يهدي إلى الرشد} الإيمان والصواب {فآمنا به ولن نشرك} بعد اليوم {بربنا أحدا}.
quran:72:3 –

And ˹it teaches˺ that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son  

And ˹we believe˺ that (annahu: the pronoun in this and in the next two instances is that of the matter) — exalted be the majesty of our Lord, transcendent is His majesty and magnificence above what is ascribed to Him — He has taken neither spouse nor son.
القرآن:٧٢:٣ –

وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا

quran:72:6 –

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they ˹only˺ increased them in burden.  

And that certain individuals of mankind used to seek the protection of certain individuals of the jinn, when they stopped over in dangerous places during their journeys — whereat every man would say, ‘I seek the protection of the lord of this place against the evil of the insolent ones in it’ — so that they increased them, by their seeking their protection, in oppressiveness, such that they would say, ‘We are now lords of jinn and humans!’.
القرآن:٧٢:٦ –

وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا  

{وأنه كان رجال من الإنس يعوذون} يستعيذون {برجال من الجن} حين ينزلون في سفرهم بمخوف فيقول كل رجل أعوذ بسيد هذا المكان من شر سفهائه {فزادوهم} بعوذهم بهم {رهقا} فقالوا سدنا الجن والإنس.

quran:72:10 –

And we do not know ˹therefore˺ whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.  

And we do not know, by not being able to eavesdrop by stealth, whether ill is intended for those who are in the earth, or whether their Lord intends for them good.

quran:72:24 –

˹The disbelievers continue˺ until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number.  

Such that when they see (hattā is for inceptiveness, ˹but˺ also entailing a purposive sense to an implied preceding clause, that is to say, they persist in their disbelief until they come to see …) what they are promised, of chastisement, they will then know, at the moment that it befalls them, ˹either˺ on the day of Badr or on the Day of Resurrection, who is weaker in supporters and fewer in numbers, in assistants: is it them or the believers — according to the former ˹reading˺?

إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ مِنْ رَسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا  

{إلا من ارتضى من رسول فإنه} مع إطلاعه على ما شاء منه معجزة له {يسلك} يجعل ويسير {من بين يديه} أي الرسول {ومن خلفه رصدا} ملائكة يحفظونه حتى يبلغه في جملة الوحي.
