832. It was narrated from Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut’im that his father said: “I heard the Prophet ﷺ reciting At-Tur (52) in the Maghrib.” In a different narration, Jubair said: “And when I heard him recite: ‘Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators?’ up to: ‘Then let their listener produce some manifest proof,’[2] it was as if my heart were about to take flight.” (Sahih)

Commentary
a. Jubair bin Mut'im ﷺ was on the side of the idolaters in the battle of Badr and was taken prisoner along with other infidels by the Muslims. It was during this period in Al-Madinah that he heard the Prophet ﷺ recite the Qur'an in the prayer of Maghrib.
b. "It was as if my heart were about to take flight." In simple words it means that the words of the Qur'an made such a powerful impact on my heart that I felt an uncontrollable urge to accept Islam.
