Did the Prophet meet the Jinn?
Question:
Is it authentically reported that the Prophet met the Jinn?
Answer:
Yes, it is authentically reported that the Prophet told this to his Companions and showed them their tracks. Read what Ibn Katheer wrote in his Tafsir in his comment on Surah Al-Ahqaf

In Surah Ar-Rahman and Surah Al-Jinn, you will find the answer in detail.
