3215. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: Al-Ĥārith bin Hishām asked the Prophet ﷺ, "How is the Divine Revelation revealed to you?" He replied, "In all these (following) ways: The angel sometimes comes to me with a voice which resembles the sound of a ringing bell, and when this state passes away from me, I grasp what the angel has said, and this type of Divine Revelation is the hardest on me; and sometimes the angel comes to me in the shape of a man and talks to me, and I understand and grasp what he says." (See H. 2)

Arabic text

3215 - حَدَّثَنَا فَرْوَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَنَّ الحَارِثَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَيْفَ يَأْتِيكَ الوَحْيُ؟ قَالَ: «كُلُّ ذَاكَ يَأْتِينِي المَلَكُ أَحْيَانًا فِي مِثْلِ صَلْصَلَةِ الجَرَسِ، فَيَفْصِمُ عَنِّي، وَقَدْ وَعَيْتُ مَا قَالَ، وَهُوَ أَشَدُّهُ عَلَيَّ، وَيَتَمَثَّلُ لِي المَلَكُ أَحْيَانًا رَجُلًا فَيُكَلِّمُنِي، فَأَعِي مَا يَقُولُ»
