The Holy Quran 37:10 — Surah As-Saffat

Arabic text

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ

Translation

(None of them can hear anything) Except for the one who snatches (manages to overhear) something and (it is not long before) a flaming (piercing) spark (star) pursues him (and destroys him). (However, some of them manage to quickly pass on the information to other Shayaateen before dying and the others pass it on to fortune-tellers together with a host of lies).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The blow of the shihab thaqib (the piercing flame): that is, if in this scramble one of them hastily snatches a word or two, even then the angels pursue him with a piercing flame. The details of this have already been given at the beginning of Surah Al-Hijr.
