Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (they listen eagerly) the devils listen eagerly to the speech of the angels, (but most of them are liars) the devils are liars because they hear one thing and convey instead 100 things to fortune tellers.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : they, the devils, report the heard [sayings], what they hear from the angels [they report] to the soothsayers, but most of them are liars, adding much that is false to what they hear — this was [revealed] before the devils were barred from the heaven.
