Who was Sahabi on his Qur’an recitation, angels came to listen him, if he would
have continued everyone would have seen the angels?
Ans: Usaid ibn Hudair(R.a)
Narrated
Usaid bin Hudair: That while he was reciting Surat Al-Baqara (The Cow) at
night, and his horse was tied beside him, the horse was suddenly startled and
troubled. When he stopped reciting, the horse became quiet, and when he started
again, the horse was startled again. Then he stopped reciting and the horse
became quiet too. He started reciting again and the horse was startled and
troubled 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. The next morning he
informed the Prophet who said, Recite, O Ibn Hudair! Recite, O Ibn Hudair! Ibn
Hudair replied, O Allah's Apostle! My son, Yahya was near the horse and I was
afraid that it might trample on him, so I looked towards the sky, and went to
him. When I looked at 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 said, Do
you know what that was? Ibn Hudair replied, No. The Prophet said, Those were Angels
who came near to you for your voice and if you had kept on reciting till dawn,
it would have remained there till morning when people would have seen it as it
would not have disappeared.
[Sahi Bukhari Hadith 1518]
He
inherited noble characteristics, handed down from father to son. His father,
Hudair Al-Kataaib, was a leader of Al-Aws and one of the great nobles and
strong fighters of the Arabs in the pre Islamic era.
Usaid inherited from his father his status, courage, and hospitality. Before
becoming a Muslim, he was one of Al-Madiinah's leaders, a noble of the Arabs,
and one of their excellent spearmen.
When Islam attracted him and he was guided to the Way of the Almighty,Worthy of All Praise, he was best honored when he took his place as one ofAllah and His Messenger's Ansaar and one of the foremost believers in thegreat religion of Islam.
He embraced Islam quickly, decisively, and honorably. The Messenger (PBUH) sent
Mus'ab Ibn `Umair to Al-Madiinah to teach and instruct the Muslim Ansaar who
had given their allegiance to the Prophet (PBUH) in the First Pledge of`Aqabah
and to call others to Allah's religion.
