Virtues of the Quran's Chapters and Verses
Special Virtues of the Qur'an's Chapters and Verses 31
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْكَهْفِ وَإِلَى جَانِبِهِ حِصَانٌ مَرْبُوطٌ بِشَطَنَيْنِ فَتَغَشَّتْهُ سَحَابَةٌ فَجَعَلَتْ تَدْنُو وَتَدْنُو وَجَعَلَ فَرَسُهُ يَنْفِرُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ " تِلْكَ السَّكِينَةُ تَنَزَّلَتْ بِالْقُرْآنِ ".
ʿAmr ibn Khālid related to us: Zuhayr related to us: Abū Isḥāq related to us, from al-Barāʾ, who said: A man was reciting Sūrat al-Kahf, with a horse beside him tethered by two ropes. A cloud enveloped him and kept drawing nearer and nearer, and his horse began to shy. When morning came, he went to the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) and told him about it. He said, ‘That was the tranquility that descended with the Qur’an.’
Translation notes
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ،
The Arabic chain begins with ʿAmr ibn Khālid, Zuhayr and Abū Isḥāq before al-Barāʾ; the English witness gives al-Barāʾ alone.
Is the witness an abridged rendering of this occurrence’s chain?
