Then when We decided upon Solomon with death nothing guided the jinn on his death except the woodworm eating his staff which he was leaning upon, so Solomon fell on the ground, at that time the jinn knew that they if they were knowing the unseen they would not have stayed in the humiliating punishment and the difficult work for Solomon; out of thought from them that he was of the living. And in the verse is a nullification for the belief of some people that the jinn know the unseen; since had they been knowing the unseen they would have surely known the death of Solomon peace be upon him, and they would not have stayed in the humiliating punishment.
