وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقۡعُدُ مِنۡهَا مَقَٰعِدَ لِلسَّمۡعِۖ فَمَن يَسۡتَمِعِ ٱلۡأٓنَ يَجِدۡ لَهُۥ شِهَابٗا رَّصَدٗا
Wa annaa kunnaa naq'udu minhaa maqaa'ida lis'sam'i famany yastami'il 'aana yajid lahoo shihaabar rasada
We used, indeed, to sit there in (hidden) stations, to (steal) a hearing; but any who listens now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.
— Al-Jinn (ٱلْجِنّ), 72:9
