Sahih Muslim 2236c (Book 39, Hadith 192) #12930
Jinns Accepting Islam in Medina

SUMMARY: Jinns in Medina have accepted Islam and should be warned three times before being killed if they appear after the warnings.

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported Allah's Messenger having said: There is a group of Jinns in Medina who accepted Islam, so he who would see anything from these occupants should warn him three times; and if he appears after that, he should kill him for he is a satan.
وَحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنِي صَيْفِيٌّ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ قَدْ أَسْلَمُوا فَمَنْ رَأَى شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْعَوَامِرِ فَلْيُؤْذِنْهُ ثَلاَثًا فَإِنْ بَدَا لَهُ بَعْدُ فَلْيَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a group of jinn who accepted the religion of Islam and were living in the city of Medina. The Prophet Muhammad instructed that if anyone sees any of these jinn, they should be warned three times to leave. If they do not leave after being warned, then they should be killed as it is believed that this jinn is a satan or an evil spirit. This hadith teaches us to protect ourselves from evil forces by warning them first before taking any action against them. It also teaches us to respect other religions and beliefs even if we do not agree with them, as long as those beliefs are not causing harm to others or society at large.
