* The Arabic word ‘jinn’ comes from the verb ‘janna’ which means ‘to hide or conceal’* There are three types of jinn: one which flies in the air all of the time, another which exists as snakes and dogs, and an
earthbound type which resides in one place or wanders about. [Tabari and Hakim in Mishkaak al Masaabeeh vol 2 p 883]
* Among the jinn which fly are some who eavesdrop on the angels in the lowest heaven. The jinn then convey the information they hear to fortunetellers. If they narrated only what they heard it would be correct, but they add to it and mix it with lies. [Sahih Muslim vol 4 no 5538]..
