1 Safar, 1436
Narrated Usaid bin Hudair (RA) that while he was reciting Surat
Al-Baqarah at night, and his horse was tied beside him, the horse was suddenly
started and trouble.
When he stopped reciting, the horse became
quit, and when he started again, the horse was startled again.
Then he stopped reciting and the horse
became quit too.
He started reciting again and the horse
was startled and trouble once again.
Then he stopped reciting and his son,
Yahya was beside the horse.
He was afraid that the horse might trample
on him.
When he took the boy away and looked
towards the sky, he could not see it.
That morning he informed the Prophet (SAW)
who said, "Recite, O Ibn Hudair! O Ibn Hudair!"
Ibn Hudair (RA) replied, "O Allah's
Messenger! (SAW) My son Yahya was near the horse and I was afraid that it might
trample on him, so I raised my head, and went to him. When I raised my head,
and I looked towards the sky, I saw something like a cloud containing what
looked like lamps, so I went out in order not to see it"
The Prophet (SAW) said, "Do you know
what that was?"
Ibn Hudair (RA) replied, No.
The Prophet (SAW) said, "Those were
angels who came hear to you for your voice, and if you had kept on reciting
till dawn, they would have remained there till morning when the people would
have seen them. They would not have disappeared."
