4924. Narrated Yahyā: I asked Abā Salama, "Which Sūrah of the Qur'an was revealed first?" He replied, "O you (Muhammad ﷺ), enveloped (in garments)! (Al-Muddaththir No. 74)." I said, "I have been informed that it was, 'Read! In the Name of your Lord! Who has created...'" (Sūrat Al-'Alaq No. 96)." Abū Salama said, "I asked Jābir, 'Which Sūrah of the Qur'an was revealed first?' He said, "O you (Muhammad ﷺ), enveloped (in garments)!" I said, "I have been told that it was 'Read! In the Name of your Lord, who has created.'" He said, "I will not tell you but what Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, 'I was in seclusion in the cave of Hīrā' and when I completed the limited period of my seclusion, I came down till I reached the valley. I heard a voice calling me, so I looked in front of me, behind me, to my right, and to my left, and behold! I saw (an angel) sitting on a throne between the sky and the earth. So, I went to Khadīja and told her to envelop me in garments and pour cold water on me. Then, it was revealed to me: 'O you (Muhammad ﷺ) enveloped (in garments)! Arise and warn! And magnify your Lord (Allāh)!" (V.74:1-3)

4924 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ: أَيُّ القُرْآنِ أُنْزِلَ أَوَّلُ؟ فَقَالَ: {يَا أَيُّهَا المُدَّثِّرُ} [المدثر: 1]، فَقُلْتُ: أُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّهُ: {اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ} [العلق: 1]، فَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَيُّ القُرْآنِ أُنْزِلَ أَوَّلُ؟ فَقَالَ: {يَا أَيُّهَا المُدَّثِّرُ} [المدثر: 1] فَقُلْتُ: أُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّهُ: {اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ} [العلق: 1]، فَقَالَ: لاَ أُخْبِرُكَ إِلَّا بِمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " جَاوَرْتُ فِي حِرَاءٍ، فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ جِوَارِي هَبَطْتُ، فَاسْتَبْطَنْتُ الوَادِيَ فَنُودِيتُ فَنَظَرْتُ أَمَامِي وَخَلْفِي، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي، فَإِذَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، فَأَتَيْتُ خَدِيجَةَ فَقُلْتُ: دَثِّرُونِي، وَصُبُّوا عَلَيَّ مَاءً بَارِدًا، وَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ: {يَا أَيُّهَا المُدَّثِّرُ قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ} [المدثر: 2] "
