Allah Almighty did not appoint messengers or prophets from among the jinn, but rather He appointed warners from them. Messengers are only from humankind, as stated by Mujahid, Ibn Jurayj, and many other Imams. Ibn Abbas said: "Messengers are from the children of Adam, and from the jinn are warners."
