Then he explained this by saying: "Indeed, they are cut off from hearing," meaning the complete truth from the highest assembly. "They are indeed isolated," meaning by that which the heavens are protected from meteors and by that which they are distinct from the angels in reality, because they are pure good and pure light. These are pure evil and absolute darkness. They do not hear except in snatches, so what reaches their understanding and is conceived in the realm of imagination in their delusions becomes a mixture with no reality for most of it. Therefore, there is no trust in most of it, and it is not far-fetched that this could be general, even encompassing the hearing from the believers for what they share with the angels of light and goodness. Look at what has been reported in "Ayat al-Kursi" that it is not recited in a house but that a devil approaches it, and in one narration: "Except that the devil leaves it." A similar thing has been reported in the two verses at the end of Surah Al-Baqarah, as well as other forms of that. The greatest of this is his saying, blessings and peace be upon him, to Umar, may Allah be pleased with him: "Indeed, O son of Al-Khattab, by Him in Whose Hand is my soul, the devil has not seen you walking a path except that he took a path other than yours," and he left the explanation of the necessity for his appearance.
