English translation

4738. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When Allāh speaks with the revelation, the inhabitants of heaven hear a clanging from the heavens like a chain being dragged across a rock, and they swoon, then they remain like that until Jibrīl comes to them. When he comes to them, they recover and say: 'O Jibrīl, what did your Lord say?' He says: 'The truth,' and they say: 'The truth, the truth.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

4738 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي سُرَيْجٍ الرَّازِيُّ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ابْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ اللَّهُ بِالْوَحْيِ، سَمِعَ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ لِلسَّمَاءِ صَلْصَلَةً كَجَرِّ السِّلْسِلَةِ عَلَى الصَّفَا، فَيُصْعَقُونَ، فَلَا يَزَالُونَ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمْ جِبْرِيلُ، حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَهُمْ جِبْرِيلُ فُزِّعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ» قَالَ: " فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ: الْحَقَّ، فَيَقُولُونَ: الْحَقَّ، الْحَقَّ "

Commentary

All of these narrations prove that Allāh speaks, and that His revelation is His Word, not created.
