Hadith:
Nabi Muhammad ﷺ, once stood before his Companions and recited Surah Rahmaan from the beginning to the end. All kept silent. He ﷺ then said: I recited this Chapter to the Jinn, and they provided the best response. As whenever I pass by this verse “So which of your Lord’s blessings will you both deny?” they replied: O our Lord, none of Your favour we deny, all praise is due to You. (Sunan Tirmidhi: 3291 … Mishkaat: 861)
