(4) Hadith 4 of the book of revelation by Sahih al-Bukhari
قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍٍ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنٍِ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيٍَّ، قَالَ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ فَتْرَةِ الْوَحْيِ، فَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: بَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي إِذْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي، فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاءٍ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، فَرُعِبْتُ مِنْهُ فَرَجَعْتُ، فَقُلْتُ: زَمِّلُونِي، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: "يَأَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ 1 قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ 2 "سورة المدثر آية 1-2، فَحَمِيَ الْوَحْيُ وَتَتَابَعَ، تَابَعَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفٍَ، وَأَبُو صَالِحٍٍ، وَتَابَعَهُ هِلَالُ بْنُ رَدَّادٍٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيٍِّ، وَقَالَ يُونُسٍُ، وَمَعْمَرٌٍبَوَادِرُهُ.
Sahih hadith: Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari while talking about the period of pause in revelation reporting the speech of the Prophet While I was walking, all of a sudden I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up and saw the same angel who had visited me at the cave of Hira' sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got afraid of him and came back home and said, 'Wrap me (in blankets).' And then Allah revealed the following Holy Verses (of Quran): 'O you (i.e. Muhammad)! wrapped up in garments!' Arise and warn (the people against Allah's Punishment),... up to 'and desert the idols.' (74.1-5) After this the revelation started coming strongly, frequently and regularly.
