The Holy Quran 72:8 — Surah Al-Jinn

Arabic text

وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ فَوَجَدْنَـٰهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا

Translation

"We (the Jinn) have sought to reach the skies (to eavesdrop on the conversations of the angels to learn about future events) but found it filled with stern (firm, watchful) guards (angels) and flaming fires (stars which the angels would throw at any Jinn caught trying to eavesdrop)."
