4. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh Al-Anṣārī while talking about the period of pause in revelation, reported the speech of the Prophet ﷺ, "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 Hīrā, sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got scared of him and came back home and said, 'Wrap me (in blankets).' And then Allāh تعالى revealed the following Holy Verses (of the Qur'ān): 'O you (Muḥammad ﷺ) enveloped (in garments)! Arise and warn ... (up to) ... and keep away from Ar-Rujz (the idols)!' (V.74:1-5) After this, the revelation started coming strongly and frequently in succession one after the other."

Arabic text

4 - قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، قَالَ: وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ فَتْرَةِ الوَحْيِ فَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: " بَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي إِذْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي، فَإِذَا المَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاءٍ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، فَرُعِبْتُ مِنْهُ، فَرَجَعْتُ فَقُلْتُ: زَمِّلُونِي زَمِّلُونِي " فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {يَا أَيُّهَا المُدَّثِّرُ. قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ} [المدثر: 2] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ} [المدثر: 5]. فَحَمِيَ الوَحْيُ وَتَتَابَعَ تَابَعَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، وَأَبُو صَالِحٍ، وَتَابَعَهُ هِلاَلُ بْنُ رَدَّادٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَقَالَ يُونُسُ، وَمَعْمَرٌ بَوَادِرُهُ
