[Machine] Usaid ibn Hudayr and another man from the Ansar were speaking to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night about a matter that concerned them. They stayed with him until a late hour of the night, which was extremely dark. Then they left the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with each of them holding a stick. One of the sticks lit up for them and they walked in its light until they reached their destination. When they reached a point where their paths diverged, the stick of one of them lit up for the other so that each of them walked in the light of his own stick until he reached his family.  

أَنَّ أُسَيْدَ بْنَ حُضَيْرٍ وَرَجُلًا آخَرَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ تَحَدَّثَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فِي حَاجَةٍ لَهُمَا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ سَاعَةٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ شَدِيدَةُ الظُّلْمَةِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْقَلِبَانِ وَبِيَدِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عُصَيَّةٌ فَأَضَاءَتْ عَصَا أَحَدِهِمَا لَهُمَا حَتَّى مَشَيَا فِي ضَوْئِهَا حَتَّى إِذَا افْتَرَقَ بِهِمَا الطَّرِيقُ أَضَاءَتْ لِلْآخَرِ عَصَاهُ فَمَشَى كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِي ضَوْءِ عَصَاهُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ
