[406] 255 - (161) Jâbir bin ‘Abdullâh Al-Anşârî - who was one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ - used to narrate that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, speaking of the interruption in the Revelation said: “While I was walking, I heard a voice from heaven. I raised my head, and there was the Angel who had come to me in Hîrâ’, sitting on a throne between heaven and earth.” The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: “I was stricken with terror, so I went back and said, ‘Cover me, cover me!’ So they covered me, then Allâh, [Blessed be He and Most High], revealed the Verses: “O you enveloped in garments! Arise and warn! And magnify your Lord! And purify your garments! And keep away from Ar-Rujz!.”[1] - And that is the idols - “Then the Revelation resumed.”

255 - (161) وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ فَتْرَةِ الْوَحْيِ - قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ -: «فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي، فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاءٍ جَالِسًا عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ»، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَجُئِثْتُ مِنْهُ فَرَقًا، فَرَجَعْتُ، فَقُلْتُ: زَمِّلُونِي زَمِّلُونِي، فَدَثَّرُونِي، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ وَالرُّجْزَ} [المدثر: 2] فَاهْجُرْ - وَهِيَ الْأَوْثَانُ - " قَالَ: «ثُمَّ تَتَابَعَ الْوَحْيُ»،
