The reciter: And Ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashir narrated to us, and the wording is that of Ibn al-Muthanna, and they said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us from Abu Ishaq, saying:
I heard al-Bara' say: A man recited the story of the Cave, and there was a beast in the house, so it began to panic. He looked and saw a mist or a cloud that had covered him. He mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "Let so-and-so recite, for it is the tranquility that has descended upon the recitation, or it has descended for the recitation."
سمعت البراء يقول: قرأ رجل الكهف وفي الدار دابة فجعلت تنفر فنظر فإذا ضبابة أو سحابة قد غشيته قال: فذكر ذلك للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلّم فقال: اقرأ فلان فإنها السكينة تنزّلت عند القرءان أو تنزّلت للقرءان
