Virtues of the Qur'an — Hadith 531

English Translation

Narrated Al-Bara': A man was reciting Surat Al-Kahf and his horse was tied with two ropes beside him. A cloud came down and spread over that man, and it kept on coming closer and closer to him till his horse started jumping (as if afraid of something). When it was morning, the man came to the Prophet, and told him of that experience. The Prophet said, "That was AsSakina (tranquility) which descended because of (the recitation of) the Qur'an."
