أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ صَوْتًا بِالْقُرْآنِ قَالَ
«قَرَأْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَفَرَسٌ لِي مَرْبُوطٌ وَيَحْيَى ابْنِي مُضْطَجِعٌ قَرِيبًا مِنِّي وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ فَجَالَتْ جَوْلَةً فَقُمْتُ لَيْسَ لِي هَمٌّ إِلَّا يَحْيَى ابْنِي فَسَكَنَتِ الْفَرَسُ ثُمَّ قَرَأْتُ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ فَقُمْتُ لَيْسَ لِي هَمٌّ إِلَّا ابْنِي ثُمَّ قَرَأْتُ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَإِذَا بِشَيْءٍ كَهَيْئَةِ الْظُّلَّةِ فِي مِثْلِ الْمَصَابِيحِ مُقْبِلٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَهَالَنِي فَسَكَنَتْ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ» فَقَالَ «اقْرَأْ يَا أَبَا يَحْيَى» قُلْتُ قَدْ قَرَأْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ وَلَيْسَ لِي هَمٌّ إِلَّا ابْنِي فَقَالَ «اقْرَأْ يَا ابْنَ حُضَيْرٍ» قَالَ «قَدْ قَرَأْتُ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَإِذَا كَهَيْئَةِ الْظُّلَّةِ فِيهَا مَصَابِيحُ فَهَالَنِي» فَقَالَ «ذَلِكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ دَنَوْا لِصَوْتِكَ وَلَوْ قَرَأْتَ حَتَّى تُصْبِحَ لَأَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ»

✧ «I recited Surah al-Baqarah tonight while a horse of mine was tethered and Yahya, my son, was lying near me, and he was a young boy. The horse made a sudden movement, so I got up, and my only concern was my son Yahya. Then the horse became still. Then I recited and the horse made a sudden movement, so I got up, and my only concern was my son. Then I recited and the horse made a sudden movement, so I raised my head, and there was something like a canopy containing lamps, approaching from the sky. That alarmed me, and the horse became still. When morning came, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him.» He said: «Recite, O Abu Yahya.» I said: «I did recite, O Messenger of Allah, and the horse made a sudden movement, and my only concern was my son.» He said: «Recite, O Ibn Hudayr.» He said: «I recited, then I raised my head, and there was something like a canopy containing lamps, and that alarmed me.» He said: «Those were angels who drew near to your voice. Had you kept reciting until morning, the people would have looked at them.»
