Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri Radiyallahu 'anhu narrated that Usaid ibne-Hudair was reciting Qur'an one night in his courtyard, when his Mare suddenly began to shy and started to move around. He continued to recite, the Mare once again moved around, but he continued to recite, and the Mare continued to move around. Usaid Radiyallahu 'anhu says: I feared that the Mare might trample my son Yahya. So I stood near the Mare and saw something like a canopy above my head, with what seemed to be lamps in it. Then this (object) started ascending towards sky; until I could not see it any more. He said: I went to Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam in the morning and I said: O Rasulallah! Late last night I was reciting (the Qur'an) in my courtyard, when my Mare started to shy and move around. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: You should have kept on reciting, Ibne-Hudair! He replied: I kept on reciting, and the Mare moved around again. So, Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam again said: You should have kept on reciting, Ibne-Hudair! He submitted: So, I kept on reciting, and the Mare moved around again. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: You should have kept on reciting, Ibne-Hudair! He said: Then I turned towards it, as I was afraid that it might trample my son Yahya, who was near to it, and saw above my head something like a canopy, with what seemed to be lamps in it. Then this (object) ascended towards sky, until I could not see it anymore. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Those were the angels who came to listen to your recitation of Qur'an, and if you would have continued reciting, the people would have seen them in the morning, and they couldnot have stayed hiddenfrom the people.
