Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) once went with some companions towards the market of ‘Ukaz. In those days, the devils had been prevented from obtaining news from the heavens, and flaming fire (shooting stars) began to be thrown at them. So those devils returned to their people and asked,“What has happened?”They said,“We have been prevented from obtaining news from the heavens, and (when we go towards the heavens) flaming fire is thrown at us.”The devils said,“There must be some new reason for us being prevented from obtaining news from the heavens, so spread out in the east and west in all directions and find out the cause that has prevented us from obtaining news from the heavens.”The devils who set out to find the reason went towards Tihamah, where the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), while going to the market of ‘Ukaz, was offering the Fajr prayer with his companions at the place of Nakhlah. When they heard the Qur’an, they listened to it attentively. Then they said,“By Allah, this is what has prevented us from obtaining news from the heavens.”Then they returned to their people and said,“O people of our community, we have heard a wondrous Qur’an which guides to the straight path, so we have believed in it and we will never associate anyone with our Lord.”() Upon this, this verse (Surah al-Jinn) was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): (Say: It has been revealed to me...) and the conversation of the jinn was revealed to you.
