Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, in the noble verse in Surat al-Jinn[Al-Jinn 72:1], what was the occasion of the revelation of this surah?
Answer:
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the people of Ta'if and called them to Allah, they responded to him with a bad response and incited their slaves and foolish people to throw stones at him. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned back to return to Makkah. When he was in the valley of Nakhlah between Makkah and Ta'if, the time for the Fajr prayer came. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the Fajr prayer in the valley of Nakhlah, and the jinn heard his recitation. The jinn heard it, and these jinn came from Nisibin in Iraq. They heard the recitation of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Fajr prayer, so they believed and called their brothers to listen to the recitation of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
