Transliteration:( Wa hifzam min kulli Shaitaanim maarid )
7. In that when any devil makes an intention of alking in the heaven, then a ball of fire comes rom the stars, which hits him like a bullet. From his we learn that it is not permissible to obtain strological information from the stars because the stars have been made to provide light, protection, to ascertain time and road and not for the purpose of obtaining information of the unseen and to foretell omens.

Please refer to Surah Saffat ayat 6 which provides the complete commentary from verse 6 through 10.
6. That is, heaven is not merely empty space so that anyone who likes may enter it, but it has been fortified strongly, and its different regions have been bounded by such strong barriers that it is impossible for any rebel satan to exceed them. Every star and planet in the universe has its own circle and sphere escaping from which is as difficult as entering it. With the naked eye one can only see empty space, but, in reality, there are countless regions in space which have been even more strongly fortified and protected than they could be by steel walls. One can imagine and estimate the strength of these barriers by the difficulties man is experiencing in the way of reaching the moon, which is our nearest neighbor in space. Similar difficulties prevent the other creation of the earth, the jinns, from ascending towards the heavens.
