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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ! 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 ﷺ said, "Do you know what that was?" Ibn Hudair replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ 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.  

البخاري:٥٠١٨وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْهَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ قَالَ

بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَقْرَأُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَفَرَسُهُ مَرْبُوطٌ عِنْدَهُ إِذْ جَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ فَسَكَتَ فَسَكَتَتْ فَقَرَأَ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ فَسَكَتَ وَسَكَتَتِ الْفَرَسُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ فَانْصَرَفَ وَكَانَ ابْنُهُ يَحْيَى قَرِيبًا مِنْهَا فَأَشْفَقَ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُ فَلَمَّا اجْتَرَّهُ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى مَا يَرَاهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ حَدَّثَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ يَا ابْنَ حُضَيْرٍ اقْرَأْ يَا ابْنَ حُضَيْرٍ قَالَ فَأَشْفَقْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ تَطَأَ يَحْيَى وَكَانَ مِنْهَا قَرِيبًا فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَانْصَرَفْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا مِثْلُ الظُّلَّةِ فِيهَا أَمْثَالُ الْمَصَابِيحِ فَخَرَجَتْ حَتَّى لاَ أَرَاهَا قَالَ وَتَدْرِي مَا ذَاكَ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ تِلْكَ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ دَنَتْ لِصَوْتِكَ وَلَوْ قَرَأْتَ لأَصْبَحَتْ يَنْظُرُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهَا لاَ تَتَوَارَى مِنْهُمْ قَالَ ابْنُ الْهَادِ وَحَدَّثَنِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ خَبَّابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ

" عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَا هُوَ يَقْرَأُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَة، وَفرَسُهُ مَربوطَةٌ إِذ جَالَتِ الْفَرْسُ فَسَكَتُّ فَسَكَتَتْ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ فَجَالَت الْفَرَسُ، فَسَكَتُّ فَسَكَتَتْ فَانْصَرَفَ، وَكَان ابْنُهُ قَرِيبًا منْهُ، فَأَشْفَقَ أَنْ يُصِيبْنَهُ، فَلَمَّا اجْتَرَّهُ رَفَعَ رَأسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإذَا هِىَ مِثْلُ الظُلَّة فِيهَا أَمْثَالُ الْمَصَابِيح عَرَجَتْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى مَا يَرَاهَا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ حَدَّثَ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ فقال رسول الله ﷺ : اقرأ ابن الحضير ثلاث مرات. فَقَالَ: تَدْرِى مَا ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: لاَ يَارَسُولَ الله، قَالَ: تِلكَ الْمَلاِئِكَةُ دَنَتْ لِصَوْتِكَ، وَلَوْ قَرَأتَ لأَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى يَنْظُروا إِلَيْهَا لاَ تَتَوَارَي مِنْهُمْ".
