The answer

The eavesdropping of devils, before and after the Prophethood, occurred from the clouds, not from the built firmament. Scholars have differed regarding the occurrence of being pelted with meteors before the Prophethood, and many exegetes have favored its occurrence before then, citing verses and hadiths. However, they clarified that this pelting and guarding intensified and became more rigorous after the Prophethood of the Prophet, peace be upon him, to the extent that the devils became unable to eavesdrop on anything.
