6.130

یٰمَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْاِنْسِ اَلَمْ یَاْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْكُمْ یَقُصُّوْنَ عَلَیْكُمْ اٰیٰتِیْ وَ یُنْذِرُوْنَكُمْ لِقَآءَ یَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَاؕ-قَالُوْا شَهِدْنَا عَلٰۤى اَنْفُسِنَا وَ غَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا وَ شَهِدُوْا عَلٰۤى اَنْفُسِهِمْ اَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا كٰفِرِیْنَ(130)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

'O groups of Jinn and humans! Did the Messengers from amongst you not come to you, reciting upon you My verses and warning you of seeing this Day?' They will say, 'We testified against ourselves.' And the worldly life deceived them and they themselves will testify against their souls that they were disbelievers.

Commentary

The prophets sent to humanity were all humans; jinn never attain prophethood. Here, both humans and jinn are addressed together but the wording applies to humankind; the verse does not prove that prophets came from among the jinn. However, human prophets were sent to guide jinn too.
