Narated By
'Aisha : (The mother of the faithful believers) The commencement of the Divine
Inspiration to Allah's
Apostle was
in the form of good dreams which came true like bright day light, and then the
love of seclusion was
bestowed
upon him. He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where he used to
worship (Allah alone)
continuously
for many days before his desire to see his family. He used to take with him the
journey food for the stay
and then
come back to (his wife) Khadija to take his food like-wise again till suddenly
the Truth descended upon him
while he was
in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet
replied, "I do not know
how to
read."
The Prophet
added, "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I
could not bear it any more. He
then
released me and again asked me to read and I replied, 'I do not know how to
read.' Thereupon he caught me
again and
pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me
and again asked me to
read but
again I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?' Thereupon
he caught me for the third time
and pressed
me, and then released me and said, 'Read in the name of your Lord, who has
created (all that exists)
has created
man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous." (96.1,
96.2, 96.3) Then Allah's Apostle
returned
with the Inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he went to
Khadija bint Khuwailid and said,
"Cover
me! Cover me!" They covered him till his fear was over and after that
he told her everything that had
happened and
said, "I fear that something may happen to me." Khadija
replied, "Never! By Allah, Allah will
never
disgrace
you. You keep good relations with your Kith and kin, help the poor and the
destitute, serve your guests
generously
and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones."
Khadija then
accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul 'Uzza, who,
during the
Pre-Islamic
Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He
would write from the
Gospel in
Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his
eyesight. Khadija said to
Waraqa,
"Listen to the story of your nephew, O my cousin!" Waraqa
asked, "O my nephew! What have you
seen?"
Allah's
Apostle described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said, "This is the same
one who keeps the secrets (angel
Gabriel)
whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time
when your people would
turn you
out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will they drive me
out?" Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said,
"Anyone
(man) who
came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with
hostility; and if I should remain
alive till
the day when you will be turned out then I would support you
strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and
the Divine
Inspiration was also paused for a while.
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 Qur'an):
'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."
