The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

In the Qur’an and in some of the hadith, it is narrated that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) saw the Jinn and He recited the Qur’an and had a conversation with them. [Bukhari, Salat 75, Amal fi's-Salat 10, Bad'u'l Khalq 11, Anbiya 40, Tafsir, Sad; Muslim, Masajid 39, (541)]

 “Behold, We turned towards thee a company of Jinn (quietly) listening to the Qur'an: when they stood in the presence thereof, they said "Listen in silence!" When the (reading) was finished, they returned to their people, to warn (them of their sins). They said "O our people! We have heard a Book revealed after Moses, confirming what came before it: it guides (men) to the Truth and to a Straight Path. "O our people hearken to the one who invites (you) to Allah, and believe in him: He will forgive you your faults, and deliver you from a Penalty Grievous.” (Surah Al-Ahqaf, 46/29-31; see Jinn, 72/1-15)

The verses explain that Jinn obeyed our prophet (PBUH) and they also invited their tribes to follow our Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH).
