قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_1.png)

Say, [O Muḥammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said,
يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_2.png)

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.
وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_3.png)

And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_4.png)

And that our foolish one [i.e., Iblees] has been saying about Allāh an excessive transgression.
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ تَقُولَ الْإِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_5.png)

And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allāh a lie.
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_6.png)

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden [i.e., sin].
وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ لَنْ يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_7.png)
![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_7.png)
And they had thought, as you thought, that Allāh would never send anyone [as a messenger].
وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَاءَ فَوَجَدْنَاهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_8.png)

And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.
وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَنْ يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ يَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَصَدًا![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_9.png)

And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.
وَأَنَّا لَا نَدْرِي أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_10.png)

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