Abu Saeed AlKhudri told of Usaid Bin Hudair saying that one night he recited the Quran in his enclosure; when the horse began to jump about. He again recited and the horse again jumped. He again recited and it jumped as before. Usaid said: I was afraid lest it should trample his son Yahya. I stood near it the horse and saw something like a canopy over my head with what seemed to be lamps in it; rising up in the sky till it disappeared. I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the next day and said: Messenger of Allah; I recited the Quran during the night in my enclosure and my horse began to jump. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You should have kept on reciting; Ibn Hudair. He Ibn Hudair said: I recited. It jumped as before. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ again said: You should have kept on reciting; Ibn Hudair. He Ibn Hudair said: I recited and it again jumped as before. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ again said: You should kave kept on reciting; Ibu Hudair. He Ibn Hudair said: Messenger of Allah I finished the recitation for Yahya was near the horse and I was afraid lest it should trample him. I saw something like a canopy with what seemed to be lamps in it rising up in the sky till it disappeared. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Those were the angels who listened to you; and if you had continued reciting; the people would have seen them in the morning and they would not have concealed themselves from them.
