أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ 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 سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَفَرَسٌ لِي مَرْبُوطٌ وَيَحْيَى ابْنِي مُضْطَجِعٍ قَرِيبًا مِنِّي وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ جَوْلَةً فَقُمْتُ لَيْسَ لِي هَمٌّ إِلَّا ابْنِي يَحْيَى فَسَكَنَتِ الْفَرَسُ ثُمَّ قَرَأْتُ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ فَقُمْتُ لَيْسَ لِي هَمٌّ إِلَّا ابْنِي ثُمَّ قَرَأْتُ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَإِذَا بِشَيْءٍ كَهَيْئَةِ الظُّلَّةِ فِي مِثْلِ الْمَصَابِيحِ مُقْبِلٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَهَالَنِي فَسَكَتَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ» فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ يَا أَبَا يَحْيَى فَقُلْتُ «قَدْ قَرَأْتُ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ فَقُمْتُ لَيْسَ لِي هَمٌّ إِلَّا ابْنِي» قَالَ «اقْرَأْ يَا أَبَا يَحْيَى» قُلْتُ لَهُ قَدْ قَرَأْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ ولَيْسَ لِي هَمٌّ إِلَّا ابْنِي قَالَ اقْرَأْ يَا ابْنَ حُضَيْرٍ قَالَ قَدْ قَرَأْتُ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَإِذَا كَهَيْئَةِ الظُّلَّةِ فِيهَا مَصَابِيحُ فَهَالَتْنِي فَقَالَ «تِلْكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ دَنَوْا لِصَوْتِكَ وَلَوْ قَرَأْتَ لَأَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ»

✧ "I recited Surah al-Baqarah while a horse of mine was tethered, and my son Yahya was lying near me, and he was a boy. The horse moved, so I got up, having no concern except my son Yahya. Then the horse calmed down. Then I recited, and the horse moved, so I got up, having no concern except my son. Then I recited, and the horse moved, so I raised my head, and there was something like a canopy with lamps coming from the sky, and it alarmed me, so I fell silent. When morning came, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him." He said: "Recite, Abu Yahya." I said: "I recited, and the horse moved, so I got up, having no concern except my son." He said: "Recite, Abu Yahya." I said to him: "I recited, O Messenger of Allah, and the horse moved, and I had no concern except my son." He said: "Recite, O Ibn Hudayr." He said: "I recited, then I raised my head, and there was something like a canopy with lamps, and it alarmed me." He said: "Those were angels who came near to your voice; had you recited, the people would have woken up looking at them."
