✧...that it would trample Yahya. I got up to it, and behold, there was something like a canopy above my head, in which were things like lamps, ascending into the sky until I could no longer see it." He said: "In the morning I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, last night in the middle of the night, while I was in my enclosure, my horse suddenly stirred.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Recite, O Ibn Hudayr.' So I recited. Then it stirred again, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Recite, O Ibn Hudayr.' So I recited. Yahya was close to it, and I feared it would trample him. Then I saw something like a canopy in which were things like lamps, ascending into the sky until I could no longer see it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Those were angels listening to you. Had you continued reciting, the people would have seen them in the morning, not hidden from them.'"
