The Holy Quran 72:9 — Surah Al-Jinn

Arabic text

وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَـٰعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَن يَسْتَمِعِ ٱلْـَٔانَ يَجِدْ لَهُۥ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًا

Translation

"Indeed (before the coming of Rasulullaah ﷺ) we used to take up positions there (in the skies) to sit and eavesdrop. Now (once revelation has begun coming to Rasulullaah ﷺ) whoever eavesdrops will find a flaming fire (star) waiting in ambush (waiting to attack) him."
