Sura 37
Aya 8
8
لا يَسَّمَّعونَ إِلَى المَلَإِ الأَعلىٰ وَيُقذَفونَ مِن كُلِّ جانِبٍ

Muhammad Asad

[so that] they [who seek to learn the unknowable] should not be able to overhear the host on high,1 but shall be repelled from all sides,
  • I.e., the angelic forces, whose "speech" is a metonym for God's decrees.
