Seventh point:
Among the matters that belong to this category are the recurrent, widely-attested reports about the Arab soothsayers and the unseen information they conveyed—information the jinn disclosed to them.

Eighth point:
Anyone who claims that the extraordinary signs displayed by the prophets—such as foretelling the unseen and performing feats beyond human capacity—stem merely from psychic powers is either affirming what the messengers are known to have reported or denying it.
• If he denies it, the discussion with him must first concern proving and acknowledging prophethood.
• As for the philosophers, the Sabaeans, and their followers among the esotericists of the religious communities and the like, they venerate the prophets, concede the perfection of their knowledge, religion, and truthfulness, and maintain that what the prophets brought does not contradict the principles of philosophy. This is the stance of those who say that prophetic miracles are psychic forces.

When that is granted, the words of the prophets are true—by their own admission and by the consensus of all faith communities. It is therefore necessarily known that the messengers informed us about angels and jinn, describing them as living, rational beings that subsist in their own right, not as accidents inhering in something else. They also told us that these beings convey news of the unseen and perform deeds that lie beyond human ability, just as God, exalted is He, related about the angels who came to Abraham the Friend—peace be upon him—and then went on from him to Lot. The Most High said:

“Has the story of Abraham’s honoured guests reached you? When they came in to him and said, ‘Peace,’ he replied, ‘Peace—people unknown to me.’ Then he slipped away to his family and came back …” (Qur’an 51:24–26, partial).
