It is narrated from Sayyiduna Khalid ‘Adwani (may Allah be pleased with him) that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the eastern side of Banu Thaqif, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing leaning on a bow or a staff, and they had come to seek help from him. I heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting the Surah with {وَالسَّمَائِ وَالطَّارِقِ}, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the Surah. I had memorized this Surah even in the time of ignorance, in the state of polytheism, and then after embracing Islam, I learned it again. Banu Thaqif called me and said: What did you hear this man reciting? I recited Surah At-Tariq to them in response, but the Qurayshi people present with them said: We know our companion (Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) better; if we knew that his words were true, we would certainly follow him.
