Surah Hijr ayat 27 Tafsir Quran 15:27

﴿وَالْجَانَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ السَّمُومِ﴾
[ الحجر: 27]

15:27 And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.

And the jānn the father of the jinn namely Iblīs We created beforehand — that is before the creation of Adam — out of the permeative fire a smokeless fire that can escape through openings.

And the Jinn did We create earlier from a fiery blast of fervently hot wind

The Substances from which Mankind and Jinns were created Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah said that Salsal means dry mud.
The apparent meaning is similar to the Ayah: خَلَقَ الإِنسَـنَ مِن صَلْصَـلٍ كَالْفَخَّارِ - وَخَلَقَ الْجَآنَّ مِن مَّارِجٍ مِّن نَّارٍ ( He created man (Adam ) from sounding clay like the potter's clay, And He created the Jinns from a smokeless flame of fire.) ( 55:14-15 ) It was also reported from Mujahid that, صَلْصَـلٍ ( dried (sounding ) clay) means "putrid", but it is more appropriate to interpret an Ayah with another Ayah. مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ ( of altered mud ) means the dried clay that comes from mud, which is soil.
"Altered" here means smooth. وَالْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَـهُ مِن قَبْلُ ( And the Jinn, We created earlier ) means before creating humans. مِن نَّارِ السَّمُومِ ( from the smokeless flame of fire. ) Ibn `Abbas said, "It is the smokeless flame that kills." Abu Dawud At-Tayalisi said that Shu`bah narrated to them from Abu Ishaq, who said: "I visited `Umar Al-Asamm when he was sick, and he said: `Shall I not tell you a Hadith that I heard from `Abdullah bin Mas`ud He said: `This smokeless flame is one of the seventy parts of the smokeless fire from which the Jinn where created.
Then he recited, وَالْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَـهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ السَّمُومِ ( And the Jinn, We created earlier from the smokeless flame of fire )."' The following is found in the Sahih,
«خُلِقَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ نُورٍ، وَخُلِقَتِ الْجَانُّ مِنْ مَارِجٍ مِنْ نَارٍ، وَخُلِقَ آدَمُ مِمَّا وُصِفَ لَكُم»
( The angels were created from light, the Jinn were created from a smokeless flame of fire, and Adam was created from that which has been described to you. ) The Ayah is intended to point out the noble nature, good essence and pure origin of Adam.

(15:27) and before him We had created Jinn from the flame of heat. *18

And the jinn We created before from meaning

*18) As `samum' is not wind, `nar-i-samum" will mean "flame of heat" ( "intense heat" ) and not of "fin." This is the explanation of those passages in which it has been stated that jinns have been created from fire.

( And the jinn ) the first father of the jinn ( did We create aforetime ) before the creation of Adam ( pbuh ) ( of essential fire ) of smokeless fire.

And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire.
