Syeduna Ali and Syeduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrate that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us and admonished with the blessings of Allah upon the previous nations and their incidents, we would recognize this from the (changed due to fear) face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It seemed as if he was warning his people and that the punishment would come the very next morning. And when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a new meeting with Jibreel (peace be upon him), he would not smile until Jibreel had departed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, that when revelation would descend upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, a sound like the buzzing of bees could be heard near his blessed face.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: On a cold morning, revelation would descend upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but even then, sweat would begin to flow from his forehead.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) also narrates that when revelation would descend upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and he was on his mount, it would lower its neck to the ground.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a new meeting with Jibreel (peace be upon him) and he would review the Holy Qur'an with him, the Prophet would become more generous in giving wealth than even the blowing wind.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Sayyiduna Harith bin Hisham (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "How does revelation come to you?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Sometimes the angel comes to me with a sound like the ringing of a bell. This state is very hard on me, but when he departs from me, I remember what he has said. And sometimes the angel comes in the form of a man, and then he speaks to me and I remember what he says."
