Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: In the saying of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He)[Al-An'am 6:130], is this evidence that Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) sent a messenger to the jinn from among them, just as He sent a messenger to the humans from among them?
Answer:
Allah knows best. The well-known view among scholars is that there are no messengers from among the jinn; the messengers are from among the humans, and the jinn follow them. The jinn follow the humans, just as our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent to the two groups, the jinn and the humans,[Yusuf 12:109], men from among the people of the towns, from the humans. Yes.

O company of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you messengers from among you
يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْAnswer:

And We sent not before you [as messengers] except men to whom We revealed from among the people of cities
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَىٰ
