Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَفْصَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: حُبِسَ الْوَحْيُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَوَّلِ أَمْرِهِ وَحُبِّبَ إِلَيْهِ الْخَلَاءُ، فَجَعَلَ يَخْلُو فِي حِرَاءٍ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ مُقْبِلٌ مِنْ حِرَاءٍ: " إِذَا أَنَا بِحِسٍّ مِنْ فَوْقِي، فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي، فَإِذَا الَّذِي أَتَانِي بِحِرَاءٍ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ "، قَالَ: " فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ جُئِثْتُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَلَمَّا أَفَقْتُ، أَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي مُسْرِعًا، فَقُلْتُ: دَثِّرُونِي، دَثِّرُونِي، فَأَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ، قُمْ، ، فَأَنْذِرْ، وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ، وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ، وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ} [المدثر: ٢] " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: After the period of cessation of revelation had passed, one day I was walking when I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up and saw the same angel who had come to me in the Cave of Hira, sitting on a throne between the sky and the earth. Seeing this, I was overcome with trembling and I went to Khadijah and said, "Cover me with a thick blanket." So she covered me with a blanket. On this occasion, Allah revealed this verse: "O you who covers himself [with a cloak]." After that, the series of revelations began in succession.
