(72:1) Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, `Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur`an. (72:2) It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone. (72:3) And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son (72:4) And that our foolish one has been saying about Allah an excessive transgression. (72:5) And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allah a lie. (72:6) And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden. (72:7) And they had thought, as you thought, that Allah would never send anyone [as a messenger]. (72:8) And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames. (72:9) And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him. (72:10) And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.
