When the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم was returning from At-Taif, having had lost hope of finding any goodness in the people of Thaqeef, he صلى الله عليه و سلم stopped at An-Nakhlah. There, he صلى الله عليه و سلم stood in the darkness of the night pray. As he صلى الله عليه و سلم was praying, a group of jinns passed by. They were from the inhabitants of Nusaibeen. They listened closely to the recitation of the Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم, and they continued to do so until he صلى الله عليه و سلم completed his prayer. They then returned to their people and said: "O our people! Verily! We have heard a Book (this Qur'an) sent down after Moosa (Moses), confirming what came before it, it guides to the truth and to a Straight Path (i.e., Islam)" (46:30).
