لِرَجُلٍ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ السَّكِينَةُ عِنْدَكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ الْقَوْمُ مَا هِيَ فَقَالُوا جَعَلَنَا اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ مَا هِيَ قَالَ رِيحٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ طَيِّبَةٌ لَهَا صُورَةٌ كَصُورَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ تَكُونُ مَعَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ع وَ هِيَ الَّتِي أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع حِينَ بَنَى الْكَعْبَةَ فَأَخَذَتْ تَأْخُذُ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ بَنَى الْأَسَاسَ عَلَيْهَا.

Hadith.2318 - Abu Hammam Isma'il ibn Hammam narrated from Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as): Imam (as) said to a man: "What do you understand 'Sakina' to mean?" The people did not know what it was and replied: "May we be your ransom, what is it?" Imam (as) said: "'Sakina' is a breeze that comes from Paradise, fragrant, and has a form like that of a human. It accompanies the Prophets (as). It is the same 'Sakina' that was sent down upon Prophet Ibrahim (as) when he was building the Kaaba. It guided him by pointing out this and that, and he built the foundation upon it."
