Does the descent of the angels to listen to the Qur’an indicate their hearing of sounds from great distances, and do the angels hear the Qur’an while they are in heaven?

The angels descended to hear Usaid ibn Hudair's recitation, as indicated by the noble Hadith. They encompass gatherings of remembrance (dhikr) and knowledge by Allah's command. A distinction is made between the hearing of angels and the hearing of idolaters. The hearing of angels is confirmed by sacred texts and is an act from Allah, whereas the idolaters' hearing of their deities is shirk (polytheism) and a false claim, because the absent and the dead possess no power to respond.
