Musnad Abi Ya'la 1722 — a man was reciting Surah al-Kahf while there
وَبِهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ، يَقُولُ : قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ الْكَهْفَ وَفِي الدَّارِ دَابَّةٌ فَجَعَلَتْ تَنْفِرُ فَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا ضَبَابَةٌ أَوْ سَحَابَةٌ قَدْ غَشِيَتْهُ ، فَذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : اقْرَأْ فُلَانُ ، فَإِنَّهَا السَّكِينَةُ نَزَلَتْ عِنْدَ الْقُرْآنِ ، أَوْ تَنَزَّلَتْ لِلْقُرْآنِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man was reciting Surah al-Kahf while there was an animal in the house, which began to shy away. When he finished his prayer with the salam, he saw that a cloud or a shadow of mist had covered him. So he mentioned the incident to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O so-and-so, you should have kept reciting, for that was the tranquillity (sakinah) that descended because of the recitation of the Qur'an, or came down for the Qur'an."
