حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثَنَا أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ حَسَنُ الصَّوْتِ قَالَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَقْرَأُ إِذْ غَشِيَنِي شَيْءٌ كَالسَّحَابِ وَالْمَرْأَةُ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَالْفَرَسُ فِي الدَّارِ فَتَخَوَّفْتُ أَنْ تَسْقُطَ الْمَرْأَةُ فَانْصَرَفْتُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اقْرَأْ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَلَكٌ اسْتَمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ»

✧ He used to recite on the roof of his house, and he had a beautiful voice. He said: While I was reciting, something like a cloud overshadowed me while the woman was in the house and the horse in the courtyard. I feared that the woman would fall, so I stopped. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Recite, for it was only an angel listening to the Qur'an."
Notes
هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ لِأَنَّ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ أَرْسَلَهُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ حذفه الذهبي من التلخيص لضعفه
machine translationThis is an authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) hadith meeting the criteria of the two Shaykhs, yet they did not record it, because Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah transmitted it as a mursal report from al-Zuhrī. Al-Dhahabī omitted it from the Talkhīṣ due to its weakness.
