قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
بَيْنَا أَنَا أُصَلِّي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ إِذْ رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ الْقَنَادِيلِ نُورًا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ وَقَعْتُ سَاجِدًا، ( فَذَكَرْتُ ) ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: هَلَّا مَضَيْتَ يَا أَبَا عَتِيكٍ ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ إِذْ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ وَقَعْتُ سَاجِدًا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَوْ مَضَيْتَ لَرَأَيْتَ الْعَجَائِبَ، تِلْكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَنْزِلُ لِلْقُرْآنِ

✧ While I was praying one night, I saw something like lanterns — light descending from the sky. When I saw that, I fell prostrate. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: "Why did you not continue, O Abu 'Atik?" He said: "I could not; when I saw it, I fell prostrate." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If you had continued, you would have seen wonders. Those were angels descending for the Qur'an."
