(1). 3325. Jābir bin 'Abdullāh [may Allāh be pleased with them] said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ - and he was narrating about the pause in Revelation - so he said in his narration: "I was walking, when I heard a voice from the heavens. So I raised my head, and there was an angel, the one that had come to me at Hirā', sitting upon a chair between the heavens and the earth. I fled from him out of fear, and I returned and said: 'Wrap me up! Wrap me up!' So they covered me." Then Allāh, Most High, revealed: 'O you who are wrapped up! Arise and warn.' up to His saying: 'And keep away from the Rujz!'[1] before the Ṣalāt was made obligatory." (Ṣaḥīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīh. Yahyā bin Abī Kathīr also reported it from Abū Salamah bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān [from Jābir. And Abū Salamah's name is 'Abdullāh].

Commentary
This is the first Āyah revealed after the break in the Revelation; in which the Prophet ﷺ was ordered to declare the Highness and Oneness of Allāh openly leaving no stone unturned for his mission, without caring for any type of opposition, obstacles, crucial circumstances and odd conditions. The Oneness of Allāh was laid as the foundation of his mission, and he was commanded to maintain the highest standard of purification and cleanliness.
