حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ، نَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ رَاهَوَيْهِ، نَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ قَالَ:
بَيْنَا أَنَا أُصَلِّي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ إِذْ رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ الْقَنَادِيلِ نُورًا نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ وَقَعْتُ سَاجِدًا، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: " هَلَّا مَضَيْتَ يَا أَبَا عَتِيكٍ ؟ " قَالَ: مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ إِذْ رَأَيْتُ إِلَّا أَنْ وَقَعْتُ سَاجِدًا، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَوْ مَضَيْتَ لَرَأَيْتَ الْعَجَائِبَ، تِلْكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَنْزِلُ لِلْقُرْآنِ

✧ While I was praying one night, I saw what looked like lamps—a light descending from the sky. When I saw that, I fell down in prostration. I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: Why did you not go on, O Abu 'Atik? He said: I could not do anything but fall down in prostration when I saw it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If you had gone on, you would have seen wonders. Those were the angels descending for the Quran.
