Exegesis of {And that we used to sit in it in seats for listening}

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The jinn reached the sky. Can a human also find a seat in the sky?

Answer:
The apparent meaning of the Qur'an is that he may find
And we used to sit therein in positions for hearingوَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ
[al-Jinn:9] meaning around the sky, where some of them ride on others, and they may have things with them to sit on, and there may be seats in which they can do what is forbidden. It is possible. Allah informed about this
And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ فَمَنْ يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ يَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَصَدًا
[al-Jinn:9]. One does not know what these seats are that they sit in.
Q: Is it not
We used to...كُنَّا..
?
A: Meaning before the shooting stars, before they were thrown with shooting stars. When the revelation came, they were targeted with shooting stars until they were unable to reach the sky.
