was one of the chiefs in what was of
course known at that time yatrip before
the prophet saws and came to and became
medina and he was the chief of the tribe
of the house remember the ansar were
divided into al-aus and al-hazraj
and when musabra the allah was sent to
medina to teach the people to call them
to islam from hajj to hajj
usaid heard about muslim
when he came to him in a state of rage
wanting to stop him from corrupting his
people but muslim
with his manners and with his beautiful
preaching
was able to convince him to just hear
him out for a moment
so usaid sat and he listened to muslim
read the quran to him
and when musab recited the quran to
usaid it fell in his heart and
immediately subhanallah not only did he
fall in love with it but he became
instrumental in getting madina as a
whole to become muslim he wanted
everyone to hear this magnificent quran
that he had heard that caused him to
embrace islam and to call his entire
people to islam so the chapter that we
come to is actually a chapter in sahih
bukhari which is baab nuzuri
and
quran the chapter of the descent of a
sakina the descent of tranquility and
the angels when the quran is recited
it's a hadith where usaid allah
says that i was reciting surat
al-baqarah at night so imagine him
standing outside in his courtyard
reciting it either in a state of prayer
or just in a state of recitation but
he's outside at night and his horse was
tied beside him
and as he recites surat al-baqarah
the horse seems startled and it starts
to tremble
so he said i stopped reciting
and i went out and i looked to see what
the horse was seeing
and the horse went quiet so he said i
kept on reciting surbakara he said again
the horse was startled
and the horse started to tremble so he
said i stopped reciting i started to
look around i said what's going on here
why is the horse you know so shocked by
this recitation or by what's happening
so he said i started again
and he said subhanallah the third time
when he recited the quran the horse
started to tremble and was startled to
the extent
that it almost trampled his son yahya so
he said my son was out there as well and
the horse was so moved that i thought i
thought the horse was actually going to
trample my son yahya so he said the next
morning
i went to the prophet saws and i told
the prophet saw some what happened and
the prophet saws
and i said to rasulullah
my son yahya was there and i thought the
horse was actually going to trample him
and he said when i looked at the sky i
saw a cloud containing what looked like
these lamps or these lanterns in the sky
with these clouds so when i stopped
reciting they left
and the prophet saws
do you know what that is usaid i said no
he said
he said that was the angels they came
close because of your recitation he said
well karatbatian
and he said had you continued to recite
usaid the people would have come and
they would have been able to stare at
the angels and nothing would conceal the
angels from them so subhanallah if you
were to keep on reciting the quran
the angels would have come down until
the morning time and the people would
have seen the effect of the angels in
the sky in another narration there was a
man that was reciting suritanka and he
had the exact same experience
and he came to the prophet saws and he
told the prophet salisa what happened
and the prophet saw salam said that was
a sakina that was tranquility that
descended because of
the quran because of the recitation of
the quran
who of course is the main
explainer of sahih al-bukhari he said
that a sakina here actually refers to
the maraca tranquility actually refers
to the angels because wherever the
angels go sakina descends wherever the
angels go tranquility descends and so
whether that is a person reciting the
quran and so the angels come and they
witness that quran especially the quran
at fajr in the quran
when they witnessed that loud recitation
of the quran they bring with them a
tranquility they bring with them a peace
and subhanallah that sukhena comes into
the
household and
mentions that homes are expanded due to
the recitation of the quran not only do
they expel the shayateen not only do
they expel the devils but the angels are
present in that home so much that
there's sakina there is tranquility that
overtakes every single element every
single aspect of that home and that is
what is seen then in the presence of the
clouds we know the prophet's life i'm
describing to us from the signs of
that there is a tranquil night to the
signs that we see within our own hearts
when we are in the presence of the quran
for an extended period of time
