commenced to be thrown at them. The Devils went to their people, who asked them, “What is wrong
with you?” They said, “A barrier has been placed between us and the news of heaven. And fire has
been thrown at us.” They said, “The thing which has put a barrier between you and the news of heaven
must be something which has happened recently. Go eastward and westward and see what has put a
barrier between you and the news of heaven.” Those who went towards Tuhama came across the
Prophet at a place called Nakhla and it was on the way to Suq `Ukaz and the Prophet (ﷺ) was offering the
Fajr prayer with his companions. When they heard the Qur’an they listened to it and said, “By Allah,
this is the thing which has put a barrier between us and the news of heaven.” They went to their people
and said, “O our people; verily we have heard a wonderful recital (Qur’an) which shows the true path;
we believed in it and would not ascribe partners to our Lord.” Allah revealed the following verses to
his Prophet (Sura ‘Jinn’) (72): “Say: It has been revealed to me.” And what was revealed to him was
the conversation of the Jinns.
