أَخْبَرْنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْفَقِيهُ بِالرِّيِّ ثنا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَا ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
بَيْنَا أَنَا أَقْرَأُ اللَّيْلَةَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى آخِرِهَا سَمِعْتُ وَجْبَةً مِنْ خَلْفِي فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ فَرَسِي تُطْلَقُ فَقَالَ «اقْرَأْ أَبَا عَتِيكٍ وَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا أَمْثَالُ الْمَصَابِيحِ مُدَلَّاةٌ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنْ أَمْضِيَ قَالَ فَقَالَ «تِلْكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ نَزَلَتْ لِقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ مَضَيْتَ لَرَأَيْتَ الْعَجَائِبَ»

✧ While I was reciting Surat al-Baqarah tonight, when I reached its end I heard a thud behind me, and I thought that my horse was being set loose. He said: "Recite, Abu 'Atik." And I turned, and behold, there were things like lamps suspended between the sky and the earth. He said: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I could not continue. He said: "Those were angels who descended for the recitation of the Qur'an. Indeed, had you continued, you would have seen wonders."
