[Machine] "I read Surah Al-Baqarah and I had a tied-up horse, and my son Yahya was lying close to me, and he was a little boy. The horse started to move around, so I got up and had no concern except for my son Yahya. Then the horse calmed down. I continued reading and the horse started moving again, so I got up and had no concern except for my son. I continued reading and the horse started moving again, so I raised my head and saw something resembling a shadow with lamps approaching from the sky, which frightened me, so I stopped reading. When morning came, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him. He said, 'Read, O Abu Yahya.' I said, 'I have already read; the horse started moving and I had no concern except for my son.' He said, 'Read, O son of Hudhayr.' I said, 'I have already read and lifted my head, and I saw something resembling a shadow with lamps, which frightened me.' He said, 'Those were angels who came near to your voice, and if you had continued reading, people would have been able to see them.'"

[Machine] "I read Surah Al-Baqarah tonight and I have a tied horse, and my son Yaḥyā is sleeping close to me, and he is a young boy. Suddenly, the horse moves, so I got up, having nothing to worry about except my son Yaḥyā. Then the horse stops, and I continue reading. Again, the horse moves, so I got up, having nothing to worry about except my son. Then the horse moves again, so I raised my head and saw something like a shadow approaching with lamps similar to lanterns coming from the sky, and it startled me, so it stopped. When morning came, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him. He said, "Read, O Abu Yaḥyā." I said, "I have already read, O Messenger of Allah, and the horse moves, and I have nothing to worry about except my son." He said, "Read, O Ibn Hudhayr." He said, "I have already read, and I raised my head and saw something like a shadow with lamps, and it startled me." He said, "Those were the angels who came near to listen to your voice. If you had continued reading until morning, the people would have seen them."
