Jinns shed blood.?..

Q:

how did angels know Human will shed blood on earth (Before our creation, how angel came to knows we shed blood.,)

A:

Assalamu Alaykum 

Thank you for your Question. 

The Ayah you’re refering to is from Sura al-Baqara:30: 

And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority.” They said, “Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?” Allah said, “Indeed, I know that which you do not know.”

According to the Tafsir that i referred to says, that the Angels were :
i) either informed of such a reliaty by Allah (az) Himslef 
ii) They were informed of the Nature of the Human and they could see the outcome 
iii) They saw the creation of man and its outome in otherworlds. 

these are the three possibilites that i came across in Tafsir 

I hope this is useful 

kind regards
