أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْحِزَامِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ قَالَ
كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةٌ فَمَشَى مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ قَالَ فَإِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَالْأُخْرَى خَارِجَهُ كَأَنَّهُ يُنَاجِي فَالْتَفَتَ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَنْ كُنْتُ أُكَلِّمُ؟ إِنَّ هَذَا مَلَكٌ لَمْ أَرَهُ قَطُّ قَبْلَ يَوْمِي هَذَا اسْتَأْذَنَ رَبَّهُ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَيَّ قَالَ «إِنَّا آتَيْنَاكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْنَا الْقُرْآنَ فَصْلًا وَالسَّكِينَةَ صَبْرًا وَالْفُرْقَانَ وَصْلًا»

✧ A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ had a need from him, so he walked with him until he entered. He said: One of his legs was inside the house and the other outside, as if he were conversing privately. He turned and said, “Do you know whom I was speaking to? This is an angel I have never seen before this day. He asked his Lord permission to greet me.” He said, “We have given you—or sent down—the Qurʾan as a decisive criterion, tranquility as patience, and discernment as connection.”
