The Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, was sent to all of mankind, meaning to both humans and jinn, and this is one of his unique characteristics. The Qur’an has clarified how his message reached the jinn, through some of them listening to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while he recited the Qur’an. It is also authentically reported in Muslim that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The caller of the jinn came to me, so I went with him and recited the Qur’an to them."
