4921. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ went out along with a group of his Companions towards 'Ukāz market. At that time something intervened between the devils and the news of the heaven, and flames were fired upon them, so the devils returned. Their fellow-devils said, "What is wrong with you?" They said, "Something has intervened between us and the news of the heaven, and fires (flames) have been shot at us." Their fellow-devils said, "Nothing has intervened between you
and the news of the heaven, but an important event has happened. Therefore, travel all over the world, east and west, and try to find out what has happened." And so they set out and travelled all over the world, east and west, looking for that thing which intervened between them and the news of the heaven. Those of the devils who had set out towards Tihāma, went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ at Nakhla (a place between Makkah and Tā'if) while he was on his way to 'Ukāz market. (They met him) while he was offering the Fajr prayer with his Companions. When they heard the Qur'an being recited (by Allāh's Messenger ﷺ), they listened to it and said (to each other), "This is the thing which has intervened between you and the news of the heavens." Then they returned to their people and said, "O our people! Verily We have heard a wonderful Recitation (the Qur'an). It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join (in worship), anything with our Lord (Allāh)."
Then Allāh عز وجل revealed to His Prophet (Sūrat Al-Jinn):
"Say (O Muḥammad ﷺ) 'It has been revealed to me that a group (from three to ten in number) of jinn listened (to this Qur'an)...'" (V.72:1)
The statement of the jinn was revealed to him.

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious,the Most Merciful.
