Narrated Usaid bin Hudair:

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 Allah’s Apostle! 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 said, “Do you know what that was?” Ibn Hudair
replied, “No.” The Prophet 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.
