﴿ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴾

“so that anyone who seeks to learn [the unknowable] by stealth is pursued by a flame clear to see.”

except the one who listens by stealth, and snatches rational judgement by listening stealthily because of his proximity to the horizon of the intellect - he is pursued by a clear flame, that is, a clear proof, and so We banish him and annul his judgement.
