Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When my Ash‘ari companions come at night, I recognize them by the sound of their recitation of the Qur’an, even though during the day I may not have seen their dwellings. But when at night they recite the Qur’an, I recognize their dwellings by their voices. Among these Ash‘ari companions of mine, there is a wise man who, when he encounters riders somewhere—or he (the Prophet) said: with the enemy—he says to them: My friends have said that you should wait for them for a little while.
