(2). 3324. Ibn ‘Abbās said: “The jinns used to ascend through the heavens, trying to listen about the Revelation. So when they heard a statement, they would add nine to it. The statement that they heard would be true, while what they added was false. So it was with the advent of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ that they were prevented from their places. So they mentioned that to Iblīs – and the stars were not shot at them before that. So Iblīs said to them: “This is naught but an event that has occurred in the earth.” So he sent out his armies, and they found the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ standing in Ṣalāt between two mountains” – I think he said “in Makkah” – “So they (returned) to meet with him (Iblīs), and informed him. He said: ‘This is the event that has happened on the earth.’” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[He said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
Before the advent of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ with the mission of Prophet hood, the jinn were totally banned from listening to anything from the talks of the heaven, due to which they felt something unusual is happening. Nakhlah is a place situated between Makkah and Tā'if.
