Surah As-Saffat — Ayah 10 (37:10)

Those Who Set the Ranks · Makkah · Juz 23 · Mushaf page 446 of 604

إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ ثَاقِبٞ ١٠

English translation (Saheeh International)

Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

Brief commentary

Except for those satans who happen to quickly snatch something; a statement that the angels discuss among themselves which the people of earth have not yet received information of. A shooting star then goes after it and burns it. Sometimes, the satan is able to pass that information on to its companion before it is burnt by the shooting star, and it reaches the fortune-tellers, who tell a hundred lies with it.
