Muhammad (saas) was also the Prophet of the jinn
In the 72nd Sura of the Qur'an, Surat al-Jinn, Allah reveals that the
jinn too listened to the communications of the Prophet Muhammad
(saas) and the Qur'an, and that some of them were bound to the Prophet
(saas) as Muslims. One verse on the subject reads:

In that same Sura, Allah also reveals that some jinn are actually
Muslims:

These jinn state that some among them opposed Allah by telling
lies and inventing superstitions. That superstitious religion that the jinn
had believed in is also described in that Sura:

Yet another verse recounts that when the Prophet (saas) rose for his
religious obligations, the jinn would gather around him:

As that verse makes clear, the Prophet Muhammad (saas) was sent
as a prophet for all men and the jinn. The Qur'an is a guide for both
mankind and the jinn.
