It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and an Ansari man (Abbad bin Bishr, may Allah be pleased with him) sat with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) late into the night, talking, until a portion of the night had passed, and the night was very dark. When they got up from the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and set out to return, each of them had a staff. One of their staffs became illuminated, and they walked by its light. When they went further and their paths separated, the other’s staff also became illuminated, and thus both of them reached their homes by the light of their respective staffs.
