Hinn (mythology)

Ḥinn (Arabic: حنّ from: hnn "to desire" or "to sigh for something") are a kind of supernatural creature—along with jinn— from pre-Islamic Arabian lore. Like jinn, they are sometimes considered to be a pre-Adamitic race in Islamic hagiography.

Shibli considers them to be the dogs of the jinn.

Their existence, along with that of binn, timm, and rimm, is accepted by the Druze.^{: “Ḥinn” : “Binn”}
