The devils used to have seats in the heavens where they would eavesdrop on the revelation. In those days, the stars did not shoot across the sky, and the devils were not pelted. Whenever they overheard a word of revelation, they would descend to the earth and add nine more words of their own to it.When the Prophet ﷺ was sent, things changed. Whenever a devil took his seat, a shooting star would come and never miss him until it burned him.The devils complained about this to Iblis, who said, "This can only be due to some new event that has occurred."So he sent out his troops to investigate. They found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing in prayer between the two mountains of Nakhlah.They returned to Iblis and informed him. He said, "That is the new event that has occurred."
حدثنا وكيع عن إسرائيل عن سماك عن سعيد بن جبير
كانت للشياطين مقاعد في السماء فكانوا يستمعون الوحي وكانت النجوم لا تجري وكانت الشياطين لا ترمى قال فإذا سمعوا الوحي نزلوا إلى الأرض فزادوا في الكلمة تسعا فلما بعث النبي ﷺ جعل الشيطان إذا قعد مقعده جاءه شهاب فلم يخطه حتى يحرقه قال فشكوا ذلك إلى إبليس فقال ما هذا إلا من حدث حدث قال فبث جنوده قال فإذا رسول الله ﷺ قائم يصلي بين جبلي نخلة قال فرجعوا إلى إبليس فأخبروه قال فقال هو الذي حدث
