Hinn (mythology)

Ḥinn (Arabic: حنّ, from the root h-n-n '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.

The Sufi Shibli considered them to be the dogs of the jinn.

Their existence, along with that of binn, timm, and rimm, is accepted by the Druze.
