حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، أَنَّهُ: سَمِعَ يَحْيَى، ح وَوَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، الْمَعْنَى، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، أَيُّ الْقُرْآنِ أُنْزِلَ قَبْلُ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ، قَالَ يَحْيَى: فَقُلْتُ: لِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ: أَوْ اقْرَأْ؟ فَقَالَ: سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا، أَيُّ الْقُرْآنِ أُنْزِلَ قَبْلُ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَوْ اقْرَأْ؟ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ: أُحَدِّثُكُمْ مَا حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " جَاوَرْتُ بِحِرَاءَ شَهْرًا، فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ جِوَارِي، نَزَلْتُ فَاسْتَبْطَنْتُ بَطْنَ الْوَادِي، فَنُودِيتُ، فَنَظَرْتُ أَمَامِي، وَخَلْفِي، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي، وَعَنْ شِمَالِي، فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا، ثُمَّ نُودِيتُ، فَنَظَرْتُ فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا، ثُمَّ نُودِيتُ "، قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: " فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي، فَإِذَا هُوَ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ فِي الْهَوَاءِ، فَأَخَذَتْنِي رَجْفَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ "، وَقَالَا فِي حَدِيثِهِمَا: " فَأَتَيْتُ خَدِيجَةَ، فَقُلْتُ: دَثِّرُونِي، فَدَثَّرُونِي، وَصَبُّوا عَلَيَّ مَاءً، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ، ، وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ} [المدثر: ٢] ، (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

Yahya bin Abi Kathir says that I asked Abu Salamah, "Which part of the Qur'an was revealed first?" He mentioned Surah Al-Muddathir. I said, "Wasn't Surah Iqra' revealed first?" He replied, "I asked the same question to Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), and he gave the same answer. I also asked this question, and he said, 'I am telling you what the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself told us.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'I remained a neighbor in the cave of Hira for a month. When I completed the month and came down from the mountain and reached the bottom of the valley, someone called out to me. I looked ahead, behind, to my right and left, but I saw no one. After a short while, the voice came again. I looked all around again but saw no one. The third time the voice came, I raised my head and saw Jibril (peace be upon him) in the air on his throne. Seeing this, I was overtaken by a severe trembling, and I went to Khadijah and said, "Cover me with a thick blanket." So she covered me with a blanket and poured water over me. At that moment, Allah revealed this verse «يا ايها المدثر قم فانذر» to the end.'"
