3238. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: that he heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The Divine Revelation was delayed for a short period but suddenly, as I was walking, I heard a voice in the sky, and when I looked up towards the sky, to my surprise, I saw the angel who had come to me in the Hīrā cave, and he was sitting on a chair in between the sky and the earth. I was so frightened by him that I fell on the ground and came to my family and said (to them), 'Cover me (with a blanket)! Cover me!' Then Allāh تعالى sent the Revelation: "O you (Muḥammad ﷺ) enveloped (in garments)! Arise and warn! (up to) And keep away from Ar-Rujz (the idols)!" (V.74:1-5) (See H. 4)
