The Holy Quran 26:211 — Surah Ash-Shu'ara

Arabic text

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

Translation

It (bringing down the Qur'aan) is not suited to them (because while the Qur'aan provides guidance, the Shayaateen can provide only misguidance), nor have they the capability (to overhear any part of the Qur'aan in the heavens before it was transmitted to Rasulullaah because Allaah had sealed off the corridors to the heavens for them and whoever tried to overhear something was destroyed by a flaming star).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The Quran was not brought by any jinn: having described the condition of the deniers in between, [Almighty Allah] now completes and rounds off the main theme: وَاِنَّهٗ لَتَنْزِيْلُ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوْحُ الْاَمِيْنُ (“Without doubt, this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds. The trustworthy angel descended with it”).
