Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 284-287
Chapter 36: The descent of tranquility (sakinah) when the Qur’an
is recited.
Al-Bara' reported that a
person was reciting Surat al-Kahf and there was a horse tied with two ropes at
his side, a cloud overshadowed him, and as it began to come nearer and nearer
his horse began to take fright from it. He went and mentioned that to the
Prophet (ﷺ) in the morning, and he (the Holy Prophet) said:
That was tranquility which
came down at the recitation of the Qur'an. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 284)
Ibn Ishaq reported:
I heard al-Bara' as saying
that a man recited al-Kahf when an animal was there in the house and it began
to take fright. And as he looked around, he found a cloud overshadowing it. He
mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Upon this he said: O so and so,
recite on (the surah) as- Sakina descends at the (recitation of the Qur'an) or
on account (of the recitation) of the Qur'an. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 285)
This hadith has
been narrated on the authority of al-Bara' with a slight modification of words.
(Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 286)
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri told of
Usaid b. Hudair saying that one night he recited the Qur'an 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 Qur'an 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 have 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. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 287)
