ٱلْجِنّ : ٦

  • وَأَنَّهُۥ And that
  • كَانَ (there) were
  • رِجَالٞ men
  • مِّنَ among
  • ٱلۡإِنسِ mankind
  • يَعُوذُونَ who sought refuge
  • بِرِجَالٖ in (the) men
  • مِّنَ from
  • ٱلۡجِنِّ the jinn
  • فَزَادُوهُمۡ so they increased them
  • رَهَقٗا (in) burden
And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden [i.e., sin].
And that certain individuals of mankind used to seek the protection of certain individuals of the jinn, when they stopped over in dangerous places during their journeys - whereat every man would say, 'I seek the protection of the lord of this place against the evil of the insolent ones in it' - so that they increased them, by their seeking their protection, in oppressiveness, such that they would say, 'We are now lords of jinn and humans!'.
