Abu Hurairah (R.A) reports that the messenger of Allah (SWT) had said, “When Allah (SWT) issues any order to the angels in the sky, they lay down their wings with humility due to fear of His statement. After sometime when the fear passes out from their hearts then one asks another, ‘What did the Fosterer say?’ The other says, ‘Whatever He said is truth’. During this period the devils form a chain from the earth to the sky and are alert to listen to the statements of the angels. The top most devil, if he hears something, passes it on to his next devil, this process is repeated and the news reaches the earth. The last devil on earth informs this to a soothsayer or magician. The soothsayer mixes up hundred lies with the truth and informs people. When the event fore told by the soothsayer takes place his disciples say, “On such and such a day, our master had said such a thing and it happened,” though this is the same statement which the devil had heard (from the angels) and run away with it. And some time it happens that before snatching away the statement, the devil who steals the statement encounters a flame and he runs away before hearing something or after hearing something, but gets burnt before revealing it to his companion [Bukhari Translated from the Hadees in urdu reported in ‘Tafseer-i-Bayan-us- Subhaan’by S.A. Dayam Jalali P.1267 (para 14)]. Shahaab might be a meteorite or a burning piece of a star at very high temperature. The temperatures in the interior of stars are in millions of degrees Celsius. The devils and jinn have been created from fire, heat waves etc 7:12, 15:27, 55:15. They influence us 6:129, 41:29, 72:6 but we do not feel intense heat. This means that the temperature of the heat energy from which they have been created is such that our bodies do not feel it. Our material bodies can be punished with material objects like hunters, canes, swords, bullets etc. similarly it might be possible to punish the devils and jinn with flames and in the hell 7:38, 7:179 where temperatures might be very high like that in stars.
