Nasnas

Although the Nasnas have not been found in any Sunni interpretation of the Quran, they are sometimes mentioned in Shia sources.

[1] The mentioning of the Nasnas revolves around Surah 2:30 when God announces to the angels to create humans as a successor on earth.

After 70,000 years, God lifted the veil between heaven and earth, and the angels saw the injustice and bloodshed done by Jinn and Nasnas.

[2] Although similar stories exist in Sunni sources, they do not mention the Nasnas, but only Jinn.

[3] A character in "The Story of the Sage and the Scholar", a tale from the collection, is turned into a nasnas after a magician applies kohl to one of his eyes.
