Verse 72:1

قُلۡ اُوۡحِىَ اِلَىَّ اَنَّهُ اسۡتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الۡجِنِّ فَقَالُوۡۤا اِنَّا سَمِعۡنَا قُرۡاٰنًاعَجَبًا ۙ‏

(The nomads continued), 'And we used to sit on places listening to the 'lofty news'. But now whoever listens will find a flame waiting for him. [The brilliant flame of Divine revelation is now ready to torch the conjecture of the astrologers. 37:6-9, 67:5]
