[Tafseer]
The youths (called Ashab-e-Kahf) hid in the cave, but
they trusted in Allah, and made over their whole case to Him
in prayer. Then they apparently fell asleep and knew nothing of what was happening in the world outside.
Hazrat Al-Bara' bin
`Azib (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man was reciting Surat
Al-Kahf, and a horse was tied with two ropes beside him. As he was reciting, a
cloud overshadowed him, and as it began to come nearer and nearer, the
horse began to trample violently. The man came to the
Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) in the morning and mentioned the incident to
him. The Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "That was tranquility which descended as a result of the
recitation of the Qur'an.'' [Muslim
Book 04, Chapter 127, Hadith #
1739]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 04. ""Our Lord! Bestow on us
mercy from Yourself, and facilitate for us our affair in the right way!" " This Hadith brings out two points. Firstly,
the excellence of Surat Al-Kahf (The Cave, No. 18). Secondly, the descending of
tranquility from Allah on the pious persons. The appearance of a cloud for the
tranquility of heart on the recitation of the Qur'an is a supernatural event
(miracle) to which a pious man does not make any contribution. It entirely
depends on the Will of Allah.
