I have not heard it before but it can be true as the Jinn were anticipating the coming of the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam because they were prevented from taking any news from the heavens just before he was born.

It is said that Umar bin Al-Khattab was one of the concernig “Firasah.” Once he saw a person and just looking at his face he could say that person is or used to be a magician. And it turned out to be the truth, that person used to be a magician in the time of Jahilyyah. And Umar asked him what was the stragest thing he heard from a Jiin. He answered that it was some kind of poetry which was talking about the coming of Muhammed (saws). Is this true or not?
