[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, while I was reciting Surah Al-Baqarah, I heard a noise behind me and thought that my horse had been released. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Continue reciting it, O Abu Ateeq.' So, I turned around and saw the lamps hanging between the sky and the earth, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Continue reciting it, O Abu Ateeq.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I cannot proceed any further.' He said, 'Those were the angels who came down to listen to the recitation of Surah Al-Baqarah. Had you kept going, you would have seen the wonders.'"
أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ إِذْ سَمِعْتُ وَجْبَةً مِنْ خَلْفِي فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ فَرَسِي أُطْلِقَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اقْرَأْهُ يَا أَبَا عَتِيكٍ» قَالَ فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا الْمَصَابِيحُ مُدَلَّاةٌ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اقْرَأْهُ يَا أَبَا عَتِيكٍ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنَّ أَمْضِيَ قَالَ «تِلْكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ نَزَلَتْ لِقِرَاءَةِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ مَضَيْتَ لَرَأَيْتَ الْعَجَائِبَ»
