Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

But when the time for the advent of the Prophet ﷺ came near, the Shayaaṭeen were
prevented from overhearing, and a barrier was placed between them and the place
where they used to sit in hiding to steal a hearing, and they were being pelted with
meteorites. So the Shayaaṭeen realized that something (major), which Allaah تعاىل had
commanded, had taken place.
Ibn Is-ḥaaq said: Regarding this incident Allaah تغاىل revealed the following Aayaat to His
‏:ﷺ Messenger
‏﴿ق ل ‏ُأ وحِ‏ يَُإِلََُّأَنَّه ‏ُاس تَمَعَُنَفَر ‏ُمِّنَُاجل ‏ِنُِّفَقَال واُإِنَّاُْسَِع نَاُق ر آن اُعَجَب اُ*ُيَه دِيُإِىلَ‏ ‏ُالرُّش دُِفَآمَنَّاُبِهُُِۖوَلَنُ‏
نُّش رِكَ‏ ‏ُبِرَبِّنَاُأَحَد ا﴾‏
{Say (O Muḥammad): “It has been revealed to me that a group of Jinn listened (to this
Qur’aan). They said: ‘Verily! We have heard a wonderful Recital (this Qur’aan)! It
guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join (in
worship) anything with our Lord (Allaah)…} [Surah al-Jinn (72) 1 – 2] till the end of the
Surah. 89
And we (Ibn Katheer) have explained all that (i.e. the above Surah) in detail in our
‏:تعاىل Tafseer, as well as in the saying of Allaah
ordered? They say that {He has said that which is true and just, and He is the Most High, the Most Great.}”
[Surah Saba’ (34):23]. Then the stealthy listeners (devils) hear this order, and these stealthy listeners are like
this, one over the other.❞ (Sufyaan, a sub-narrator demonstrated by spreading the fingers of his right hand and
placed them one over the other horizontally.) ❝A stealthy listener hears a word which he will convey to that
which is below him and the second will convey it to that which is below him till the last of them will convey it
to the wizard or foreteller. Sometimes a flame (fire) may strike the devil before he can convey it, and
sometimes he may convey it before the flame (fire) strikes him, whereupon the wizard adds to that word a
hundred lies. The people will then say: ‘Didn’t he (i.e. magician) tell such-and-such a thing on such-and-such
date?’ So that magician is said to have told the truth because of the Statement which has been heard from the
heavens.❞ [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (4701, 4800)]]
