Al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib reported: A man was reciting Surat al-Kahf, and an animal became unsettled in his barn. As he looked, there was a mist or a cloud overshadowing him. The man mentioned that to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said, “Keep reciting, O you, for it was calm which descended with the Quran, or for the Quran.”
