Tafsir · 72:9

Al-Mukhtasar

And that in the past, we would take stations in the sky, listening from them to what the angels circulate. Then we would inform the soothsayers on Earth of it. The affair has changed. So whoever of us listens now finds an ignited fire prepared for him. If he approaches, it is sent upon him and burns him.
