حدثنا يحيى بن بكير ، قال: حدثنا الليث ، عن عقيل ، عن ابن شهاب ، عن عروة بن الزبير ، عن عائشة ام المؤمنين، انها، قالت:"اول ما بدئ به رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من الوحي الرؤيا الصالحة في النوم، فكان لا يرى رؤيا إلا جاءت مثل فلق الصبح، ثم حبب إليه الخلاء وكان يخلو بغار حراء، فيتحنث فيه وهو التعبد الليالي ذوات العدد قبل ان ينزع إلى اهله ويتزود لذلك، ثم يرجع إلى خديجة فيتزود لمثلها حتى جاءه الحق وهو في غار حراء، فجاءه الملك، فقال: اقرا، قال: ما انا بقارئ، قال: فاخذني فغطني حتى بلغ مني الجهد، ثم ارسلني، فقال: اقرا، قلت: ما انا بقارئ، فاخذني فغطني الثانية حتى بلغ مني الجهد، ثم ارسلني، فقال: اقرا، فقلت ما انا بقارئ، فاخذني فغطني الثالثة، ثم ارسلني فقال:" اقرا باسم ربك الذي خلق {1} خلق الإنسان من علق {2} اقرا وربك الاكرم {3}" سورة العلق آية 1-3، فرجع بها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يرجف فؤاده، فدخل على خديجة بنت خويلد رضي الله عنها، فقال: زملوني زملوني، فزملوه حتى ذهب عنه الروع، فقال لخديجة، واخبرها الخبر: لقد خشيت على نفسي، فقالت خديجة: كلا والله ما يخزيك الله ابدا، إنك لتصل الرحم، وتحمل الكل، وتكسب المعدوم، وتقري الضيف، وتعين على نوائب الحق، فانطلقت به خديجة حتى اتت به ورقة بن نوفل بن اسد بن عبد العزى ابن عم خديجة، وكان امرا تنصر في الجاهلية، وكان يكتب الكتاب العبراني، فيكتب من الإنجيل بالعبرانية ما شاء الله ان يكتب، وكان شيخا كبيرا قد عمي، فقالت له خديجة: يا ابن عم، اسمع من ابن اخيك، فقال له ورقة: يا ابن اخي، ماذا ترى، فاخبره رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم خبر ما راى، فقال له ورقة: هذا الناموس الذي نزل الله على موسى صلى الله عليه وسلم، يا ليتني فيها جذعا، ليتني اكون حيا إذ يخرجك قومك، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: اومخرجي هم، قال: نعم، لم يات رجل قط بمثل ما جئت به إلا عودي، وإن يدركني يومك انصرك نصرا مؤزرا، ثم لم ينشب ورقة ان توفي وفتر الوحي".
Narrated 'Aisha: (the mother of the faithful believers) The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah's Apostle was in the form of good dreams which came true like bright daylight, and then the love of seclusion was bestowed upon him. He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where he used to worship (Allah alone) continuously for many days before his desire to see his family. He used to take with him the journey food for the stay and then come back to (his wife) Khadija to take his food likewise again till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read." The Prophet added, "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.' Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but again I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?' Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then released me and said, 'Read in the name of your Lord, who has created (all that exists), created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous." (96.1, 96.2, 96.3) Then Allah's Apostle returned with the Inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he went to Khadija bint Khuwailid and said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They covered him till his fear was over and after that he told her everything that had happened and said, "I fear that something may happen to me." Khadija replied, "Never! By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your kith and kin, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guests generously and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones." Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul 'Uzza, who, during the pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to Waraqa, "Listen to the story of your nephew, O my cousin!" Waraqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you seen?" Allah's Apostle described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel Gabriel) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will they drive me out?" Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said, "Anyone (man) who came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while.

قال ابن شهاب : واخبرني ابو سلمة بن عبد الرحمن ، ان جابر بن عبد الله الانصاري ، قال وهو يحدث عن فترة الوحي، فقال في حديثه: بينا انا امشي إذ سمعت صوتا من السماء فرفعت بصري، فإذا الملك الذي جاءني بحراء جالس على كرسي بين السماء والارض، فرعبت منه فرجعت، فقلت: زملوني، فانزل الله تعالى:" يايها المدثر[1] قم فانذر [2]" [سورة المدثر آية 1-2]، فحمي الوحي وتتابع، تابعه عبد الله بن يوسف ، وابو صالح ، وتابعه هلال بن رداد ، عن الزهري ، وقال يونس ، ومعمر بوادره.
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari while talking about the period of pause in revelation reporting the speech of the Prophet "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 Hira' sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got afraid of him and came back home and said, 'Wrap me (in blankets).' And then Allah revealed the following Holy Verses (of Quran): 'O you (i.e. Muhammad)! wrapped up in garments!' Arise and warn (the people against Allah's Punishment),... up to 'and desert the idols.' (74.1-5) After this the revelation started coming strongly, frequently and regularly."
