Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the throwing of meteors at the jinn specific to the revelation during the life of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or does it occur in this time?

Answer:
It continues to exist in this time, but it is rare since the mission of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is rare, and it is not the kind that involves listening to the speech of the angels; it is not the kind that involves listening to the revelation. The revelation is never what they steal.
(210) And the devils have not brought the revelation down. (211) It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able. (212) Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ وَمَا يَنبَغِي لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ
[Ash-Shu'ara 26:210-212]
So they do not steal from the revelation; they only steal from the speech of the angels, yes, the speech that circulates among them, yes.
