وانه كان رجال من الانس يعوذون برجال من الجن فزادوهم رهقا ٦
وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ رِجَالٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًۭا ٦
وَأَنَّهُۥ
كَانَ
رِجَالٞ
مِّنَ
ٱلۡإِنسِ
يَعُوذُونَ
بِرِجَالٖ
مِّنَ
ٱلۡجِنِّ
فَزَادُوهُمۡ
رَهَقٗا

And some men used to seek refuge with some jinn—so they increased each other in wickedness.1

You are reading a tafsir for the group of verses 71:27 to 72:7

In this world, in addition to human beings and angels, there is another set of creatures known as jinn. Human beings cannot see them but, in the Quran, they have been mentioned at several places. These verses show that among the jinn also there are guided and misguided types. Just as there are foolish leaders who misguide the common people, similarly there are foolish leaders among the jinn, who go on misguiding them with deceitful utterances. So far as the angels are concerned, they are not being put to the test, and thus do not have free will. They simply follow the commands given by God.
