quran:114:6 –

From among the jinn and mankind."  

of the jinn and mankind’ (mina’l-jinnati wa’l-nāsi: an explication for the whispering Satan being of the jinn and ˹also˺ of the humans, similar to God’s saying, the devils of humans and jinn ˹Q. 6:112˺; or, mina’ljinnati, ‘of the jinn’, is an explication for him ˹Satan˺, wa’l-nāsi, ‘and ˹of˺ mankind’ being a supplement to alwaswās, ‘the whisperer’). Both ˹explanations˺ apply to the evil of the mentioned Labīd and his daughters; the objection to the first opinion is that humans do not ‘whisper’ in the hearts of ˹other˺ humans, but that it is the jinn who whisper in their hearts: I would respond by saying that human beings also ‘whisper’ in a manner appropriate to them, ˹beginning˺ externally, whereafter their whispers reach the heart and establish themselves in it in the way in which this ˹customarily˺ happens. But God knows best what is correct, and to Him shall be the return and the final destination, and may God bless our master Muhammad and his family and Companions, and grant ˹them all˺ much peace, forever and always. God suffices for us and ˹what˺ an excellent guardian ˹is He˺! And there is no power or might except in God, the Sublime, the Tremendous.
القرآن:١١٤:٦ –

مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ  

(من الجنة والناس) بيان للشيطان الموسوس أنه جني وإنسي، كقوله تعالى: "" شياطين الإنس والجن "" أو من الجنة بيان له والناس عطف على الوسواس وعلى كل يشتمل شر لبيد وبناته المذكورين، واعترض الأول بأن الناس لا يوسوس في صدورهم الناس إنما يوسوس في صدورهم الجن، وأجيب بأن الناس يوسوسون أيضاً بمعنى يليق بهم في الظاهر ثم تصل وسوستهم إلى القلب وتثبت فيه بالطريق المؤدي إلى ذلك والله تعالى أعلم.
