Surah As Saffat Tafseer

لَاا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى الْمَلَاِ الاْاَعْلَى

They cannot listen to the higher group,

meaning, they cannot reach the higher group -- which refers to the heavens and the angels in them -- when they speak of what has been revealed by Allah of His Laws and decrees.

وَيُقْذَفُونَ

meaning, they are hit,

مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ

from every side.

means, from all directions from which they try to reach the heaven
