The answer

Scholars have interpreted verses (Al-Jinn: 26-27) to mean that the "guards" (rasad) are angels who protect the revelation and the Messenger Jibril, preventing the devils from imitating him or casting whispers into the revelation. Allah sends guards (rasad) from before the Messenger and from behind him to protect him from the devils.
