S 72 (chronological order) 1-3 Say: I have been inspired that a group of the jinn listened and said: We have heard a wonderful quran /Guiding to the right course and we have believed in it. And we shall not associate anyone with our lord /And that he, exalted be our lord’s good luck, has not taken a girlfriend or a child.
A group of jinn listened to the son of Aminah's reading (a) quran.
S 6:130 Company of jinn and men, did there not come to you messengers from you relating to you my verses and warning you of a meeting of this your day? They said: We have borne witness against ourselves. And the dunya life has beguiled them and they have borne witness against themselves that they were kafirun.
A number of messengers (at least three) from jinnikind came to the jinn relating verses. They would have been familiar with the event as they are asked, 'Did there not come to you?'. What was different about the verses that had been related to them before from the quran that had been heard in S 72? Was the quran heard from the founder of Islam different from that heard as related in S 6, or were the verses on the two occasions from books with different names? Was 'the' Quran, as read by the founder of Islam, just something that had come out in his day?
